The ending is marked by the death of Johann Sebastian Bach in 1750 and the completion of George Frideric Handel’s last English oratorio, Jephtha, the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Historical Dictionary of Baroque Music, Second Edition \u003c\/i\u003econtains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography.
