Answer:

From vocal to instrumental music

Explanation:

The rise of instrumental music took place in the 16th century in Europe when instrumentalists, under the spell of Reformation, started to improvise on vocal themes, calling them transcriptions. On of the first Baroque style composers was Kapsberger, ´Il Tedesco della Tiorba´, one of the most celebrated Theorbo masters in Rome. Out of these ´improvisations´ arose  complex (the use of counterpoints) and richly ornamented music centered in harmony, already used in religiously inspired vocal music. Water Music is a nice example of this development, a joyful theme that appears to emphasize the baroque qualities of nature´s liquid fountain.
