30 Mar Dancing Around Their Queen I don't know if any of you sees it this way. When I listen to baroque music and all the ornamentations that go along with it I imagine the tonic (the first note of a scale) or any of the 'more important' notes of that scale as a beautiful noble lady. And I envision the ornaments as her 'súditos', her subjects, dancing around her. All the trillos, mordants and cadences are dancing baroque steps, inevitably arriving at their Queen sitting on her throne.
