George Frederic Handel
Handel (1685-1759) was born in Germany and is considered to be one of the most respected Baroque composers of the time. His compositional output contains a large number of works including operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Handel worked in Hamburg and Italy and was strongly influenced by the great composers of the Italian Baroque. He later settled in London around 1712.

Georg Philipp Telemann
German composer, Telemann, (1681-1767) was a renowned composer of the late Baroque period. Largely self-taught, he played a number of instruments including the violin, recorder, oboe, viola da gamba, chalumeau, and clavier. His vast compositional output included numerous sacred and secular works, operas, orchestral works and chamber works for a large variety of instrumental combinations.
Telemann composed a remarkable body of works for the flute. His compositions for flute include concertos, sonatas, and fantasias, showcasing his masterful understanding of the instrument’s capabilities.

Composer-Benedetto Marcello
Italian composer/writer, Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) wrote numerous operas, oratorios, cantatas, concerti, and sonatas.
He is particularly remembered for two significant works: the satirical pamphlet “Il Teatro alla moda” (1720) and “Estro Poetico-Armonico” (1724–26), a musical setting of the first 50 psalms in Italian, based on G. Giustiniani’s paraphrase. “Il Teatro alla moda” is an amusing pamphlet where Marcello expressed his views on the state of musical drama during that period. The work gained widespread recognition and stands as an important historical document in the early development of opera.
Although his father intended for him to pursue a career in law, Marcello chose to dedicate himself to music. In 1711, he became a member of the Venetian Council of Forty and later served as governor in Pola (Istria) in 1730. After eight years, he retired to Brescia, where he held the position of papal chamberlain. Marcello’s repertoire includes operas, oratorios, cantatas, concerti, and sonatas. He was not only a composer but also a poet, having translated John Dryden’s “Timotheus” for one of his own cantatas and written a libretto for G. Ruggeri’s opera “Arato in Sparta” (1709).
