Hello old thread.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a book (or maybe a documentary series?) that explains the basic concepts behind classical music and especially Baroque music?

I'm reading a book about Leibniz's philosophy and the author has a torturous analogy to Baroque music, so I need to know what stuff like 'Basso continuo' means, and also more basic stuff like harmony and counterpoint.

I want a 'mid-level' kind of book: I don't really know anything about music theory but I'm not an idiot and I'm prepared to put some effort in.
