Came across this gem while researching English baroque vocal music. It (words and music both) is by one Henry Carey (1687-1743) and was published in 1724.

Baroque Sunday Morning* continues with Italian baroque composers, and the galant style of the late baroque period, in which composers started to explore the greater freedom of simpler melodies.
Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello (c. 1690-1758), "Symphonie Nº 5 in F Major" (1738)
Performed by La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, directed by David Plantier and Václav Luks, at Katholische Kirche Seewen, Solothurn, Switzerland, in September 2002

Congratulations to the Irish Baroque Orchestra who will be performing Handel’s Dublin version of Alexander’s feast at the BBC Proms tonight.
Going to see the premiere of the second ever staging of Les Boréades (Rameau) in Germany.
It being the last opera of Rameau, it was apparently cancelled mid-rehearsals, and rumor has it because it was too anti-monarchist. It was neglected until Gardiner first performed it in the 1980s. Very rich musically, I'm excited what they'll do with it. There seems to be some artistic overlap with the critically acclaimed first ever German staging a few years ago
Here's a somewhat romanticising transcription of one of the interludes

For Baroque Sunday Morning*, we're in the late Baroque period with a piece by the eldest son of Giovanni Battista Vitali. This is not "Chaconne in G Minor", which what you usually get when you search for this composer's work, even though the attribution is now doubted –
Tomaso Antonio Vitali (1663-1745), "Sonata prima in La Minore (Sonata I in A minor)" (1693)
Performed by Ensemble Clematis at Église Notre-Dame de Centeilles, France, in August 2011

Jeden z velké barokní trojky.
Všichni se narodili v roce 1685, ve vesmiru se vznášela barokní hudba a bylo třeba médium, které by ji sneslo k běžným smrtelníkům.
Domenico Scarlatti.

Hudba na odpoledne.
Kdysi jsem (já vzpupný pitomec) Händela prohlásil za popaře a potom jsem uslyšel Mesiáše a tento žalm a musel jsem se v duchu omlouvat.
What's your favorite Vivaldi concerto? Mine is rv177. When I first heard it years ago, I was obsessed. I listened to it everyday for a month. #baroque #baroquemusic #vivaldi #classical #classicalmusic #music #earlymusic
Baroque Sunday Morning continues from Saturday night, when I was listening to Couperin –
François Couperin (1668-1733), "Concert No. 9 in E major “Il ritratto dell’amore” from "Nouveaux concerts, ou Les goûts réunis" (1724) (20:38)
Performed by –
Emanuel Abbühl: Oboe
David Tomàs: Bassoon
Carla Sanfelix: Baroque Cello
Miklós Spányi: Harpsichord
Benoît Fallai: Theorbo
at the Friedenskirche, Mannheim between August 2022 and October 2023.
"The Ninth Concert Ritratto dell’amore (Portrait of Love) … stands apart in that it combines with perfect balance the vocabulary of Italian writing with a typically French form …" (Pascal Duc, in the release booklet)

I‘m lucky to know a lot of very good musicians, but some people are just *extraordinarily* good. Here is Gavin Roberts, pianist and accompanist at the #MSSF2025, sight-transposing the whole of Israel of Egypt down a semi-tone as we’ll be performing it with a baroque orchestra at 415 Hz on Friday and making it sound super easy! #EarlyMusic #BaroqueMusic

I’m not a trained singer so, for me, this was rather too many notes for an early-morning sight-singing session… 
but still a lot of fun! #MSSF2025 #EarlyMusic #BaroqueMusic

Then, there was more delicious food: necessary to fuel us thorough an incredible two-hour performance of Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus by Rolf Hind (recording from 2020: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV161SdYWEY5/?uid=425631363153645957455935) in the Auden Theater.
From there, we seamlessly moved to the chapel for a short late-night concert of solo baroque cello music (D. Gabrielli and J.S. Bach) performed by Tatty Theo.
It's been a great day but guess what? ... I'm tired!

My first day at the #MSSF2025 was filled to the brim with wonderful music, fun with old and new friends, and (too much) good food!
I started the day with a beginner-friendly #TaiChi session on the lawn led by a fellow volunteer. Then, following a lovely breakfast, and I made my way to the first choir rehearsal in the chapel. Andrew Griffiths from Stile Antico is directing Handel's Oratorio Israel in Egypt. That'll be lot of fast-paced sight-singing for me this week as I've never done it before.
In the second morning session, I had fun playing cornetto in the City Musick's instrumental renaissance music course.
Lunch was a delicious (vegan) Sunday roast after which I was far too full to really be playing the cornetto again, but I somehow managed to get through the mixed instrumental and vocal renaissance course.
After a short tea break, I enjoyed a less intense second afternoon session singing beautiful sacred music by Tomás Luis de Victoria with the Spanish ensemble Cantoría.
Don't tell anyone, but I gave the late afternoon concert a miss (but I'm sure it was excellent) to play some early baroque trios with an old and a new friend on cornetts and sackbuts, instead. I don't mean to boast, but the three of us made a pretty cool sound! 1/2
