Question

question 3 of 10
before the baroque era the church was an important sponsor of music.
during the baroque era this changed with the rise of:

a. musicals.

b. secular music.

c. orchestras.

d. church music.

Explanation:

During the Baroque era, there was a shift from church - sponsored (sacred) music to music that was not religiously focused. Secular music (non - religious music) saw a rise as a new form of musical expression, while musicals are a much later development, orchestras were more of an instrumental ensemble development rather than a sponsor - related change, and church music was already sponsored by the church before the Baroque era. So the rise of secular music changed the sponsorship landscape of music during the Baroque era.

Answer:

B. secular music.
