Search - Brandywine Baroque :: Cantates Francoises, Volume 1: Jephte, L'Amour et Bacchus & Le Triomphe de la Paix

This recording features three cantatas that represent the full range of subject matter for the genre. Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre s Jephte is a sacred cantata, based on a biblical story, while Louis-Nicolas Clerambault s L Amour et Bacchus is a secular work based on Classical figures. The occasional cantata is represented by Clerambault s Le Triomphe de la Paix, a work written in celebration of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. This recording also features de La Guerre s Chaconne for harpsichord, performed by Karen Flint, and Rameau s Rossignols amoureux sung by Ms. Baird.
