Johann Sebastian Bach, Protestant Reformation and Baroque Music
The transition from the Catholic ban on the tritone to modern music theory is attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach and the Protestant Reformation in Germany. Merrick explains that the term "Baroque" originally meant "broken" or "irregular" from the Church's perspective because Bach began integrating the forbidden tritone into sacred music. This shift allowed the tritone to become a foundational element of Western music after the Reformation broke the papal rule.
