Assess students' recall of major Baroque-era composers (c.1600–1750) and their signature works across genres — opera, oratorio, concerto, cantata, and keyboard music. Items require identifying composer–work pairings (e.g., Monteverdi — L'Orfeo; Purcell — Dido and Aeneas; Vivaldi — The Four Seasons; J.S. Bach — Brandenburg Concertos, St. Matthew Passion; Handel — Messiah; Domenico Scarlatti — keyboard sonatas), recognizing typical dates/styles, and labeling brief audio or score excerpts. Focus: factual recognition and concise written answers.
