Baroque pop is a music genre that combines elements of rock and pop with classical music influences. It often features orchestral instruments like strings and horns, creating a rich, layered sound. This genre emerged in the 1960s, with artists experimenting to blend traditional pop melodies with complex arrangements. Notable examples of baroque pop include works by The Beach Boys and The Beatles, particularly in albums like Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The genre is characterized by its lush production and emotional depth, making it distinct from standard pop and rock music of the time.
