 | | Much of the music is written for instrumental groups: it is simple to transcribe and will be invaluable for performing groups wishing to extend their repertoire. |
 | | Church music and oratorio composers include Benevoli, Carissimi, Colonna, Grandi, Steffani, Lotti, and Samuel Wesley; instrumental music is represented by passacaglias, organ toccatas by M.A. Rossi, a keyboard collection of 1679 and autograph collection of keyboard music by Piscine, string music by D'Eve and organ music by Frescobaldi. |
 | | Choral music by G. Porta, Porpora, Hasse, and Galuppi and a mass setting by Porta; arias and opera extracts by Galuppi, and 30 manuscripts by Porpora, 20 of them in autograph–including his operas Siface, Didone, and Trionfo di Camilla and many cantatas and motets. |
