Expert Solution
Step 1

In the Olympic rounds of music history, Bach and Handel share the gold award stage as most prominent authors of the Baroque period. In any case, that is the view from our twenty-first-century vantage point. In the late Baroque time, there would have been just authoritative writer, and that arranger was Handel. 

While Bach was regarded as an especially gifted organist, his arrangements would have been mostly secret external the locale of Germany where he resided and worked. Handel, then again, was globally popular during his lifetime, and, to a great extent because of his oratorios—notable and exceptionally respected in the many years and hundreds of years that followed his demise.
