Really don’t make me pay the delivery costs though, cause like, I won’t

A secret santa guide by/for some baroque composers

Christmas Elf: Hello, our old & broke (baroque) composers, what will you send as gifts to your friends this Christmas?

Albinoni: Every friend of mine will receive poker cards made by Albinoni Trademark

Corelli: I will send my friends recordings of my students Vivaldi and Locatelli’s violin work with great proud

Vivaldi: Ideally, each of my beloved friends will receive a violin. However, purchasing dozens of violins is too much. So each of you will receive a piece of rosin from me

B. Marcello: I don’t know, but nothing for Vivaldi or that Aldiviva

Handel: Food

Bononcini: I don’t know, but I am sure I won’t send anything to Handel

J.S. Bach: For my beloved friends, you are going to receive a handwritten booklet containing my work, just like Notebook for my beloved Anna Magdalena 

W.F. Bach: I am going to send my friends some of manuscripts too. They will bear my signature but I won’t promise I am the composer

Telemann: Exotic flowers which are grown by me

Lully: Those long and mighty walking sticks that can be used as batons

M. Marais: I will say viola da gamba. However, due to the same reason as Abate Vivaldi mentioned above, you are going to receive rosin

Mendelssohn: HELLO CHRISTMAS ELF I KNOW I AM NOT A BAROQUE COMPOSER BUT MAY I GIVE MR. J.S. BACH A FULL SET OF A PIPE ORGAN

Christmas Elf: What kind of gift do you want to receive, then

Vivaldi: MONEY THE MORE THE BETTER

Handel: FOOD THE MORE THE BETTER

Albinoni: I have no idea how they manage to answer the question this fast. I wish I will receive another “Adagio in G minor” ish one-hit wonder from a modern scholar

W.F. Bach: My dad is not listening right? Then I want alcohol 

Bononcini: Some money, for the reason that I am extremely broke and depressed in Vienna

Telemann: Tomato plants that are grown by my best friend Handel 

Lully: A new pair of legs, or a new foot at least

J.S. Bach: A recently published opus of Vivaldi’s violin concertos. But please don’t let me pay the delivery cost, or I will return it unfortunately 

J.S. Bach (later): Or an alive Buxtehude in a Christmas gift box. Again, don’t let me pay the delivery cost

M. Marais: Please not more “Tous les matins du monde”! I am happy with everything else

Christmas Elf: 

At the gift exchange event, Vivaldi was trying to sell his latest violin concertos at a super high price so he could get the money he wished for the Christmas. Surprisingly, J.S. Bach bought all those violin concertos without hesitation. Vivaldi, out of great guilty, ate his rosin in front of his colleagues. Luckily, Vivaldi only ate a few bites of rosin before his friend Albinoni and Corelli stopped him (because Albinoni and Corelli really wanted those rosin as gifts). W.F. Bach quickly signed his signatures on some of his dad’s purchase and gave them to some of his friends.

Telemann brought some exotic flowers and Handel ate some of those. 

No one wanted to have Lully’s deadly walking sticks. 

Buxtehude had a conversation with young Mendelssohn, resulting the later decided to put himself into a gift box instead and deliver to J.S. Bach.
