The Baroque era would be a fine example
of the ‘embellishment period.” They were
famous in architecture for lots of curly-cues and adornments in an effort to
make a building more attractive for the day.
In Baroque music, you will hear lots of
embellishments. These include trills, a
series of a few notes as a before thought when the main passage is sung or
played. Some famous Baroque composers
include: Handel, Bach and Vivaldi.
I embellished my wardrobe once by
purchasing a pocket watch. I also have a
fine collection of neckties that act as embellishments.
I love it when Carolyn embellishes
herself for our special date nights. She
looks stunning.
Resumes are sometimes embellished, as are
facts in the newspaper.
And with that I’ll stop. You mean we can’t believe everything we read
these days?
Shocking!
