In response to Holden's reply to Don's thread.
And because I really think all these polls are getting silly.
Messiaen kicks butt with the ondes martenot :)

Yep, Bach. I haven't participated in the most recent polls (impossible for me to choose between Mahler and Wagner or Chopin and Schumann) but this one is easy.
Sarge
This is as easy as the one that had Beethoven among the choices. Bah!
J S BACH
Messiaen, his organ works are just fantastic ;)
Big love for Scarlatti.

Cabezon would have been a fine entry also.
Forget Froberger or Cabezon, where the hell is Sweelinck? That is THE number one entry if you really want to include composers from that particular era.
I voted Rameau. I find him quite jolly and lively.

Rameau... jolly? He's one of the most heart felt composers of the Baroque era. The mind boggles...
