About

Two of the works on this disc were composed for weddings. Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten is a charming and gracious garland of recitatives and arias for soprano solo and the Quodlibet is an unceremonious composition which was probably intended for a private family function.

The Quodlibet may have been a collaboration between several of the wedding guests. Compositions of this kind belong to a tradition which combines musical quotes from songs, toasts, market traders’ calls, proverbs and puns.
