| | The Barocophile - A Double Album Special for Baroque-Music-Lovers |
 | | Later, during the early-to-mid 1900s, the term baroque was applied by association to music of the 17th and early 18th century, and today the term baroque has come to refer to a very clearly definable type or period of music which originated, broadly speaking, around 1600 and came to fruition between 1700 and 1750. |
 | | The music on these two discs covers all the important baroque composers (except Bach, who will have his own double album), the different baroque instruments and combinations, and the various forms of baroque music from the concerto and sonata to the prelude, fugue and chaconne as well as some choral items. |
 | | The blind English organist-composer John Stanley, a contemporary of Handel, specified these Six Opus 2 Concertos "for string orchestra, with solo organ, or harpsichord, or strings". |
