Neo-Baroque music is neoclassical music displaying important aspects of Baroque style. While composers of every era following the Baroque period continued to use many Baroque idioms or forms (such as extensive contrapuntal passages or fugues), Neo-Baroque music was part of a larger musical trend between the two World Wars that sought to return to aesthetic precepts "classicism", namely order, balance, clarity, economy, and emotional restraint.

An example of a Neo-Baroque work is Stravinsky's Concerto in E-flat "Dumbarton Oaks".^{[citation needed]}
