Daniel Speer (1636–1707) was one of the lesser lights of the Middle Baroque in Germany, but brass performers remember him as one of the few at that time who wrote specifically for brass ensemble. These sonatas are from the Türkischer Eulen-Spiegel, a musical collection published in 1688 by Speer, who signed the work with the anagram Res Plena Dei, an understandable diversion, since his political writings had previously earned him four years of imprisonment and exile.

Anthony Holborne (1545-1602) composed a collection of 65 "Pavans, Galliards, Almains, and other short Æirs bothe grave and light." These dances were composed for five parts and inscribed as originally intended for "Viols, Violins, or other Musicall Winde Instruments."
ABQ Vienna performance of these Holborne Dances was recorded for broadcast by ORF (Austrian Radio).

Jacobus de Kerle (1531/1532-1591) was a Franco-Flemish composer and organist during the Renaissance era. He was amongst the fifth Franco-Flemish school and an important composer of the Netherlandish school. He took holy orders to become a priest around 1561. During this time he had his works published and his
psalms and Magnificat settings were printed. In 1582 he entered the emperor’s service at Augsburg and in 1583 he moved to the imperial court at Prague, where he remained until his death in 1591.

Gioseffo Guami, (b. 1541-d. 1611) as with almost all of the notable Italian musicians, of the late 16th century, spent some time at St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice.
He was an organist there from 1588 to 1591, during Gabrieli's reign as maestro da cappella. These pieces were traditionally performed by whatever wind or stringed instruments might be available for the particular occasion. Adherence to the ideal polychoral aesthetic was most nearly achieved, however, when the choirs of instruments stood in the greatest timbral contrast.

Matthew Locke (1621/1623-1677) was a leading English composer for the stage in the period before Henry Purcell. By 1661 Locke had been appointed composer in ordinary to the king. After his conversion to Roman Catholicism he was appointed organist to the queen. Locke’s instrumental music, which is harmonically less daring than his vocal music, is considered among the finest of the 17th century.
