"The word baroque came from a Portuguese word for &amp;ldquo;misshapen pearl,&amp;rdquo; suggesting a somewhat dour opinion of the era&amp;rsquo;s heavy musical flourishes, though many of the world&amp;rsquo;s best-known composers called it their own: Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Telemann. The dances of the age, which included such delights as the quick-tempo canarie, otherwise known as &amp;ldquo;frog legs&amp;rdquo; for its little jumps and violent foot-stamping, or the tambourin, which referenced the quick movements of chickens, also swept beyond country dances into the realm of early ballet."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
