Giuseppe Tartini 1692 - 1770 He studied law at the University of Padua, where he became very good at fencing. After his father's death in 1710, he married Elisabetta Premazone, a woman his father would have disapproved of because of her lower social class and age difference. Unfortunately, Elisabetta was a favorite of the powerful Cardinal Giorgio Cornaro, who promptly charged Tartini with abduction. Tartini fled Padua to go to the monastery of St. Francis in Assisi, where he could escape prosecution; while there he took up playing the violin. There is a legend that when Giuseppe Tartini heard Francesco Maria Veracini's playing in 1716, he was so impressed by it and so dissatisfied with his own skill, that he fled to Ancona and locked himself away in a room to practice. Tartini's skill improved tremendously and in 1721 he was appointed Kapellmeister at Il Santo in Padua, with a contract that allowed him to play for other institutions if he wanted to. In Padua he met and befriended fellow composer and theorist Francesco Antonio Vallotti. In 1726 Tartini started a violin school which attracted students from all over Europe. Gradually Tartini became more interested in the theory of harmony and acoustics, and from 1750 to the end of his life he published various treatises.

Jean-Joseph Mouret 1682--1738 Mouret's father was a prosperous silk merchant of Avignon. As a youth, Mouret proved himself a talented singer while also earning success for his compositions. Around the age of twenty-five, Mouret settled in Paris. News of his arrival did not take long to spread and he was introduced to Anne, Duchess of Maine, whose salon at Sceaux was a center of courtly society in the declining years of Louis XIV. His genial character strongly assisted him in securing the patronage of the Duchess, who made him her Surintendant de la musique at Sceaux about 1708. At Sceaux he produced operas and was in charge of the sixteen bi-weekly Grandes Nuits in the season of 1714--1715, for which he produced interimèdes and allegorical cantatas in the court masque tradition, and other music, in the company of the most favoured musicians, for the most select audience in France. Mouret thus launched his adult career under highly favorable auspices. Sinking into poverty, Mouret died in a charitable asylum run by the Roman Catholic Church in Charenton-le-Pont. His dramatic works made him one of the leading exponents of Baroque music in his country. Even though most of his works are no longer performed, Mouret's name survives today thanks to the popularity of the Fanfare-Rondeau from his first Suite de Symphonies.

Ernst Sachse 1813-1870 Ernst Sachse was born in 1813 in Altenburg (near Leipzig). He received his musical training from his father and from Wilhelm Barth, a musician in Altenburg at the time. The military took him on as an oboist to help out the "Sächsischen Linien Bataillons" music corps, Altenburg. In 1822 he left the service, as another oboist was found to replace him, (officially he had another 6 years of service left). From 1834 he found a job in Weimar and played first and foremost as soloist in the Stadthaus there. In 1842, Sachse became first trumpeter in the duke's chapel. During 1844 he performed in several concerts in London. In 1850, Sachse was able to play his composition "concertino in Eb for Solo Eb Cornet and Brass ensemble" for the first time. Over the following 7 years he appeared as soloist in numerous concerts in London, Leipzig, Weimar, Etrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. An illness, which hit him in 1859 forced him to take time off and play in only the most prestigious concerts. From 1860 onwards he performed with his full concert program as soloist again and played in Paris. In 1870, Sachse died after a long spurt of bad health from edema.

English Masque Dances British Library contains the largest collection of dances from the early-seventeenth-century courtly masques to have suvived, and it is thought that it was compiled by Sir Nicholas Le Strange of Hunstanton about 1624. Masque dances tend to fall into a more regular patern most charcteristically of two duple strains followed by one in triple time. According of various masques it clear that it was played by a collection of lutes and violins plus cornettos, spindels, timbells, rattels or other veneficall instruments "making a confused noyse" to get a "kind of hollow and infernall musique". A typical masque would have three elaborately choreographed masque dances wich would be followed be Revels, in wich the courtly masquers "took out" the audience to dance. The masque was an amalgalm of diverse arts, and music and dancing made a vital contribution to its overall richness.

Michel-Richard Delalande 1657-1726 Born in Paris, he was a contemporary of Jean-Baptiste Lully and François Couperin. Delalande taught music to the daughters of Louis XIV of France, and was director of the French chapel royal from 1714 until his death at Versailles in 1726. Delalande was arguably the greatest composer of French grands motets, a type of sacred work that was more pleasing to Louis XIV because of its pomp and grandeur, written for soloists, choir and comparatively large orchestra. According to tradition, Louis XIV organized a contest between composers, giving them the same sacred text and a time to compose the musical setting. He alone was the judge. Delalande was one of four winners assigned to compose sacred music for each quarter of the year (the other composers being Coupillet, Collasse and Minoret). Delalande's was the most important quarter of the year because of the Christmas holiday. Later he had full responsibility for the church music for the complete year. Delalande left many versions of his works. His earlier versions show adherence to French Baroque style, but the later revisions incorporate more Italian melismatic lines and greater attention to polyphonic counterpoint.

Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples, Italy, in 1685. He was the sixth of ten children and a younger brother to Pietro Filippo Scarlatti, also a musician. Most probably he first studied under his father, the composer and teacher Alessandro Scarlatti; other composers who may have been his early teachers include Gaetano Greco, Francesco Gasparini, and Bernardo Pasquini, all of whom seem to have influenced his musical style.He became a composer and organist at the royal chapel in Naples in 1701. In 1704, he revised Carlo Francesco Pollarolo's opera Irene for performance at Naples. Soon after this his father sent him to Venice; no record exists of his next four years. In 1709 he went to Rome in the service of the exiled Polish queen Marie Casimire, where he met Thomas Roseingrave who later led the enthusiastic reception of the composer's sonatas in London. Scarlatti was already an eminent harpsichordist: Domenico Scarlatti arrived in Lisbon on November 29, 1719. There he taught music to the Portuguese princess Maria Magdalena Barbara. He left Lisbon on January 28, 1727 for Rome, where he married Maria Caterina Gentili on May 6, 1728. In 1729 he moved to Sevilla, staying for four years and gaining a knowledge of Flamenco. In 1733 he went to Madrid as music master to Princess Maria Barbara, who had married into the Spanish royal house. When the Princess became Queen of Spain Scarlatti remained in the country for twenty-five years, where he had five children. After the death of his wife in 1742 he married a Spaniard, Anastasia Maxarti Ximenes. Among his compositions during his time in Madrid were a number of the 555 keyboard sonatas for which he is best known.
