English composers

The baroque era in music lasted roughly from 1600 till 1750, which is usually subdivided into early baroque (1600-1650), high baroque (1650-1700) and late baroque (1700-1750).

Composers who also play the violin and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.

Composers that were born in England, or gained the English nationality.
