Answer:

Baroque Period - Melody

  • Melodies moved from being based on modes to major or minor scales.
  • Melodies were based on motifs , which were often repeated and developed.
  • Melodies became longer - especially those of Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frederick Handel - and ends of phrases merged into the starts of new ones.
