How have the royals during the Baroque period affect Baroque music?

Baroque music is ornamented and exaggerated, so I'm guessing that it has something to do with the royals. That's why Baroque music sound so splendid.

Can you provide sources for me about this?

    They affected music largely by being patrons of it, gathering composers and musicians into their courts for entertainment and propaganda purposes, so that composers had the time and money to produce pieces.

    The character of the music is not so much simply a function of the patronage but rather of a variety of developments in all the arts in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe that did not necessarily have anything to do with royals.

    The first site below is a good one, and I suggest that you read sites on Baroque visual arts and architecture and compare them with music.

    I want I knew what "the step-like dynamics of Baroque" skill. (i comprehend you weren't employing musical words, besides the indisputable fact that this is sort of humorous that Baroque track has much less dynamic assessment than Classical or Romantic) besides: Bach's Brandenburg stay overall performance (any of them) for Baroque. Mozart's Piano Concerti (any of them) for Classical. Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique for Romantic. It does not get plenty greater representative than those.

    How DID they affect music....?

    They were PATRONS of music...they paid to have music written for certain affairs.

    But that has nothing to do with Baroque...all music.

    Funding, seriously if someone wanted funding for their craft they needed connections to royalty to survive, and popular music flourished under royalty because of their support.
