La seconde période du mouvement baroque est appelée par les musicologues Baroque moyen ou Middle baroque. Il s’est développé en Italie, en France, en Angleterre, dans l’Empire germanique et ailleurs en Europe.
L’on va s’intéresser d’abord aux compositeurs italiens. Un certain nombre d’entre eux sont régulièrement joués de nos jours, comme Francesco Cavalli (1602–1676) =Giacomo Carissimi (1605–1674) = Barbara Strozzi (1619–1677) =Antonio Draghi (c. 1634–1700) =Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli (c. 1630?–1669/1670) =Alessandro Stradella(1643–1682)=
