Why does Yishtabach not begin with the word 'Baruch'?

PrayerPesukei DeZimra

Synopsis

Yishtabach serves as the closing blessing for Pesukei DeZimra, paired with Baruch She'amar as the opening. Because both blessings were instituted together for Pesukei DeZimra, Yishtabach is considered adjacent to Baruch She'amar and therefore does not open with 'Baruch'.
