Ornament of the Earth

Details

Join the Calder Consort in their debut performance as a baroque ensemble, playing one of G.F. Handel’s hidden gems, HWV 202-210 (the Nine German Arias).

Handel composed very little music using text from his native German tongue. The most notable example was his Nine German Arias using text from the poetry (Early Pleasure in God) by Barthold Heinrich Brockes, and setting them for soprano, violin and basso continuo (theorbo, cello and organ).

Director/Organ: Dylan McCaig
Soprano: Aimée Harris
Violin: Amy Price
Cello: Matthew Philips
Theorbo: Kristiina Watt
