could someone name all the baroque composers that are good?

Question

so far I know of Bach, Vivladi, Corelli, Telemann, Torelli, Marcello, Couperin, and Rameau. I am looking for music that is a bit easy to come by if not impossible. I also like film composers like John Williams and James Horner.

Answer 1

Vivladi, huh never heard of him - but wait, i know of a baroque composer named Vivaldi, Antonio :D (just kidding)

George Frideric Haendel - Sarabande in D minor

Xerxes - Ombra mai fu

Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata K.1 in D minor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmeZuW330C8

btw, both are born in the same year as Bach (1685)

Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D major

Answer 2

As the users above me(and yourself) have mentioned, there's Vivaldi, Handel, Albinoni, Bach, Telemann, Rameau, Purcell and Scarlatti.

To add to the list there's Pachelbel, Monteverdi, Mozart, Salieri, Schutz, Seixas, Alberti, Scheidt, Sweenlinck, Allegri, Charpantier, Buxtehude and Frescobaldi.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of baroque music, and if you also like John Williams and James Horner(and dare I say Howard Shore(Lord of the Rings)?) you may also like late 18th century/19th century opera composers such as Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Bizet and Bellini, all of whom compose very dramatic "epic" sounding music.

Answer 3

Vivaldi, Allesando Scarlatti, Handel.

Answer 4

You missed Domenico Scarlatti, Tomaso Albinoni and Jean Baptiste Lully.

Answer 5

Henry Purcell.
When I took piano in college, a lot of the beginner pieces were composed by him.
