Hi, anyone want to recommend me some 17th century baroque music?
I'm doing a college assignment on the various strands of classical music (starting with Baroque).
Since I listen to almost nothing pre 1960 in my day to day life I'm a little bit lost as to where I should start.

I've got a classical chart if you wanna check it out.

But as far as specifically baroque pieces, there's loads of Bach that's great, his toccatas and fugues, the Brandenburg Concerto, his cello suites.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons is decent. Handel is Baroque era I believe (though I don't like him). Pachelbel's Canon is I believe Baroque. If you dig opera, Monteverdi's L'Orfeo is pretty good (I believe that's Baroque).

The problem is he's looking specifically for 17th Centuty baroque pieces. Most of the great baroque masterpieces were written after 1700, which is technically the 18th Century.

Ah true, good point. L'Orfeo would still count, I believe.

Baroque: 1600-1750 by sethmadsen

I think this has years written. Can't remember, but start from the bottom as the top one is 1750.

Also Vivaldi, Bach, Handel... all the "greats" of the Baroque were more early 1700s-1750s.

Lully, Buxtehude, Frescobaldi, Monteverdi are probably some of the bigger names of the early baroque.

Just plug those names into Spotify if you just need something, but if you want something historically significant, I'd look at the sources I provided you.

I'd be interested in the result of it, if you care to share. I'm currently "studying" baroque music myself.

Yes it would. I think it's the oldest Italian opera we still have (not certain, but remember something about it).

Don't restrict yourself to just Canon, all of Pachelbel is pretty enjoyable.
