Music from the baroque period is characterized by ornament and decoration- as well as drama, as heard in the harmonic tension and conflict in the music. Santiago de Murcia was an 18th century guitarist and composer in Spain. He served as the guitar tutor for the Queen, and his music was exported to Mexico. It added to the Mexican baroque repertoire for guitar. In order to play his music, it is essential for the musicians to improvise and add decoration- as heard in the trills in the music. Four types: Prall trill, Murdent trill, Turn, and Slide.
