Bootham Baroque present Domestic Devotions
Baroque vocal music:
On the eve of Candlemas we perform the seasonal cantata for soprano with obbligato flute from Telemann’s 1726 Harmonischer Gottes-Dienst; this was published for domestic use, and we place it in the context of other devotional pieces intended or appropriate for non-liturgical performance: attractive three-voice psalm settings by Schütz’s pupil Johann Vierdanck, soprano duets from Johann Kasper Kerll and Andreas Hammerschmidt, together with expressive solos by Pelham Humphr
Concert 12.00 noon; ends 1.00pm
