Favorite Composers in a Galactic Perspective

I think I'm most partial to the ones nobody but me knows about: Giambattista Viotti, Antoine Dauvergne, William Boyce, Pietro Locatelli, Saari (compositore napolitano nel Settecento), fake Pergolesi. Of course it would be folly even to try to get along without Rameau, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Gluck, or either of the Scarlattis.   But anyway, thinking in terms of Congenial Closeness, I'd say probably the closest to me are Boyce and Dauvergne, with some preference for the latter ('s Concerts à 4 en Symphonie).  That is to say:  

     When I'm recruited and re-constituted by Space Aliens, or re-incarnated--whichever comes first--and, as a candidate for a degree in Ancient Terrestrial Music, I'm aboard the Galactic Starship-Cruiseliner Arion, en route to the Imperial College of Arts and Music in the Sagittarian Sector, with a Subjective Travel Time ahead of me of 60 Earth-Day's, and I'm preparing my Entrance Thesis-Composition: Then, with the time that is left me from the study of Xenobiology and long walks on the Observation Deck, I'll knuckle down and write a six-movement, twelve-part, Boycean Concerto Grosso, redolent of my own personal charm (naturally), but with sweet-sweet Dauvergnean melody and suave, conservative counterpoint. The effect, I imagine, will be somewhat more Purcellian than Mozartean. Mozart--the re-creation of whose quintets, symphonies and concertos that were lost to us by his untimely demise I envisage to be the work of many future lifetimes--I will reserve for later voyages and post-graduate theses.
