I ordered it. It's a somewhat of an odd collection, but could be interesting. Monteverdi is more like renaissance music really. Never thought of him as baroque-kind of a bridge to it.

Most musicologists would classify Monteverdi as a Baroque composer. His operas were among the first ever written. Calling him a Renaissance composer would be like calling Beethoven a composer of the classical era.

but he didn't stay there for long.
The Baroque period has also been called "The Age of the Basso Continuo." In Monteverdi and his contemporaries, there are the beginnings of the semi-improvised keyboard accompaniments to single vocal lines. Eventually this evolved into figured bass, specifying with numbers over the bass line what harmonies were to be played. This started around 1600, and the newly-beginning-to-form Baroque style coexisted with older styles for quite a while.
