You'll need to choose a composer alive during the Baroque era that's not been discussed in this unit. You may choose a composer from the list below or find your own.

Tomaso Albinoni
Arcangelo Corelli
Jean-Philippe Rameau
Alessandro Scarlatti
Domenico Scarlatti
Georg Philipp Telemann
2. Research his life.
Find out as much as you can about the composer. You'll at least need to know this information about him:

birth/death dates
country where he was born and/or lived
musical style, forms, or pieces he's known for
influence on Baroque music or other composers
a sample piece of music

Now that you know as much as you can about the composer, you must write him a letter offering your patronage. The letter should incorporate what you learned about him and also why you would like to hire him.

Be kind and complimentary as you write, remembering that you are offering the composer a job. You may even want to mention any perks or benefits he can expect should he agree to your employment offer, perhaps like housing, pay, fame, marriage possibilities, etc.

Creatively incorporate each of these items into your letter as smoothly as possible:

his date of birth, at least by referring to the year
country where he was born and/or lives
musical style, forms, or pieces he's known for
influence on Baroque music or other composers
title(s) of sample piece(s) of music
your offer of patronage
reason(s) for your patronage
