I had thought that Bach (JS) was influenced by Handel, but then read they were born the same year and did not meet. In terms of the influence of early and baroque music on Glass, Bach's giant and diverse catalogue could contain specific influential pieces (Vivaldi also wrote a massive number of pieces in the same era that apparently influenced Bach), but when you listen to the Handel's styled and less formal music, that's the baroque music I would say has more in common with Glass' style.
