Author Description

Designed as a companion volume to David Schulenberg's Music of the Baroque textbook, Music of the Baroque: An Anthology of Scores includes works by such celebrated Baroque composers as Bach, Handel, Monteverdi, Lully, and Schütz. It also features compositions by lesser-known composers, including Barbara Strozzi and Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre. Many newly edited scores in this anthology complement the textbook's emphasis on performance practice. Offering an unparalleled portrait of European music from 1600 through 1750, the collection is an ideal instructional package for courses in the history of Baroque music.Music of the Baroque: An Anthology of Scores includes music by:Carl Philipp Emanuel BachJohann Sebastian BachHans Ignaz Franz BiberDietrich BuxtehudeGiulio CacciniGiacomo CarissimiPier Francesco CavalliMarc-Antoine CharpentierArcangelo CorelliFrancois CouperinJean-Henri D'AnglebertGirolamo FrescobaldiJohann Jacob FrobergerGiovanni GabrieliCarlo Gesualdo, Prince of VenosaGeorge Frideric HandelElisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La GuerreOrlando di LassusJean-Baptiste LullyBiagio MariniClaudio MonteverdiGiovanni Pierluigi da PalestrinaHenry PurcellJean-Philippe RameauAlessandro ScarlattiDomenico ScarlattiHeinrich SchutzBarbara StrozziGeorg Philipp TelemannAntonio Vivaldi
