Answer 1

The tunes of the baroque music were grandiose and larger than life with polyphonic harmonization using strings, wind instruments and less bass and fewer beat instruments.

Explanation:

Baroque music is grandiose, larger than life, and very energetic.

The instruments used for the music were primarily string instruments, which were to be in sync and loud enough to be able to be heard in long distances.

The style was to be polyphonic inn the harmony, with multiple octaves laid over each other and contrasting according to the fifths of the root notes.

The strings were used as front of the ensemble while the deep base was relegated. The flutes and lyres were reserved for interludes or used in the front for melodies.
