I love the Italian masters, but they are not the only masters of the Baroque period. So I give you a few examples from England, and one of her most favored sons.

Purcell is buried adjacent to the organ in Westminster Abbey. His epitaph reads, "Here lyes Henry Purcell Esq., who left this life and is gone to that blessed place where only his harmony can be exceeded."
