Question

A Baroque orchestral suite is:

a.The room where musicians store their instrument cases during a performance
b.A single-movement instrumental work
c.The first multi-movement instrumental work in western classical music
d.A fancy room where kings would have orchestras perform

Answer 1

c. The first multi-movement instrumental work in Western classical music.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Western classical music, a suite, by definition, means that the piece consists of a set of smaller pieces (or movements) that follow a sequence. They were meant to be accompanied by dances. Although there were 'suite-like' compositions in previous centuries, the suite became defined as we know it until the seventeenth century, which corresponds to the Baroque period.
