Boston Baroque Releases Free, Online Resource Library

By Logan Martell

Boston Baroque has published a free, online resource library full of performance sources, educational material, orchestration charts, and more.

The digital archive is comprised of 235 musical works from over 30 composers and features program notes from company founder and Music Director Martin Pearlman, who is recognized as a leading interpreter of Baroque and Classical music on period and modern instruments.

Viewers can find information such as a complete performance history of Handel’s “Messiah,” as well as works such as Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons,” Monteverdi’s “L’Orfeo,” and J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos.

“It is a great pleasure to share these program notes and charts online,” says Pearlman. “I was pleasantly surprised to see the volume of this material that I wrote over a period of nearly 50 years, and I hope that it becomes a resource for interested music lovers, as well as for musicians and others in our field.”
