baroque composers, like the ones you listed, never used mallet instruments. Saint-Saens was the first composer to score the xylophone, he scored it for Danse macabre and later used the same part for Fossils in the Carinval of the animals. Tne composer that scored the most for marimba was Ravel in Mother Goose Suite, theres alot of marimba in those movements, as well as contra-bassoon!
