Sacred/Liturgical Music by the Baroque Masters

[SeekNFind]

I **love **music from the Romantic and Baroque periods and want to listen to more sacred/liturgical music from that period. It’s very soothing. Today I stumbled upon Charpentier’s Missa Assumpta est Maria on youtube. It’s ethereal!

What are considered the seminal sacred works by baroque masters such as Lully, Charpentier, Bach, Handel, etc? Thanks!

Check out Bruckner, one of the great Romantic Roman Catholic composers.

-CD: “Jean-Nicolas Geoffroy: Music for Choir and Organ” (just listening to it earlier )
-Handel’s “Messiah”
-“Messe pour les paroisses” by François Couperin
-Gregorio Allegri’s “Miserere”
-“Vespro della Beata Vergine” by Claudio Monteverdi

Antonio Vivaldi, known as the Red Priest of Venice (he had red hair), composed sacred church music. My favorite Baroque composer.
