"A kind of speech in music" Lars Ulrik Mortensen calls the stylus phantasticus and emphasizes that this music must be played "so that it can surprise or shock and take the audience on a journey," and that its performance must and must "go all the way to - and momentarily over – the edge.” The evening's program provides such lavish examples of the free fabulist of the time that it gives the term "baroque music" completely new dimensions.

The golden age of the Baroque saw musical explosions of invention across Europe; mathematical precision in Germany contrasted French flights of fancy in Versailles. In this opening program, J. S. Bach’s classic double concerto for oboe and violin is followed by a dramatic shift in style from French luminaries François Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau, with Jean-Féry Rebel’s Les Élémens providing a provocative and lively finale.

From the rich legacy of psalm settings, our season finale juxtaposes music from the Jewish and Christian traditions. In convertendo (Psalm 126) from the operatic master Jean-Philippe Rameau infuses the psalmist’s words with flair and passion, while companion pieces by Salamone Rossi and J. S. Bach infuse psalm texts with sonorous counterpoint.
