Claudio Monteverdi, nascido em Cremona em 1567 e morto emVeneza em 1643, foi um compositor fundamental no processo de passagem da estética renascentista para a estética barroca. Entre 1587 e 1638, Monteverdi edita sua música, que vai ao longo do tempo sofrendo transformações substanciais. É no VIII Livro de Madrigais, publicado em 1638, que se encontra editado o "Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda", já apresentado ao público em 1624. A adoção do baixo contínuo, a partir do VII Livro, e a invenção do estilo concitato, no VIII Livro, são inovações significativas que apontam em direção a uma nova proposta composicional, uma nova concepção musical. O Combattimento é incluído no VIII Livro como um opúsculo, que deveria ser apresentado seguido de outros madrigais "senza gesto". O Combattimento pode ser visto como um importante ponto de interesse na produção monteverdiana, que em sua vida longeva apresentou sempre um componente de transformação, experimentação e invenção em sua personalidade criativa como compositor.

“Baroque” is a style-period in music conventionally identified as the 17th century and the first half of the 18th, i.e., from Claudio Monteverdi (b. 1567–d. 1643) to J. S. Bach (b. 1685–d. 1750) and Handel (b. 1685–d. 1759). It is often divided into “early” (1600–1640), “middle” (1640–1690), and “high” (1690–1750) phases. These various chronological boundaries remain fuzzy, however, and also reflect the prejudices of German and Anglo-American scholarship that might not appeal to, say, French admirers of their musique classique from Jean-Baptiste Lully to Jean-Philippe Rameau, or Spanish devotees of the siglo de oro up to the death of Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1681). Given that many characteristics of early Baroque music can be traced to aesthetic attitudes and performance practices typical of the late Renaissance, it is common to take the beginnings of Baroque music back to 1580 or so. When the Baroque period ends is a much more problematic question, depending on where one situates the so-called Rococo and style galant (e.g., of Rameau or Georg Philipp Telemann), the Empfindsamer Stil (e.g., of C. P. E. Bach), or the pre-Classical style of, say, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi and Johann Adolf Hasse. Baroque music is often characterized by one or more of the following: harmonic (vertical) thinking, musical rhetoric and affective text expression, elaborate ornamentation, newly codified genres and forms, the emergence of functional tonality, and the rise of the virtuoso. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (in his Dictionnaire de musique, 1768), writing from the rather smug viewpoint of the French Enlightenment, claimed that “a baroque music is that in which the harmony is confused, charged with modulations and dissonances, the melody is harsh and little natural, the intonation difficult, and the movement constrained.” Modern scholars and performers would disagree, and the current entry, introducing the fundamental texts in the field and its subdivisions, seeks to make some sense of just what Baroque music might be. It does not include composer studies, which can be found separately in Oxford Bibliographies.
