Maybe check out some of Robert de Visée's lute music, there is a lot of it, and the incredible Toyohiko Satoh recorded a disc of it for Carpe Diem:

If not, then Saint Colombe (father, not son) and Forqueray -- both from Jordi.  Eustache de Caurroy (I'd argue he's borderline baroque!) also Jordi, Attaingnant (also borderline) -- Hopkinson Smith.. How do you feel about organ music? Someone else will no doubt mention some motets and stuff, Charpentier etc.

Savall recording


Also the Savall recording of Lully:


Also, I really like these two works:
Lully - Benedictus
Charpentier - Te Deum
