The six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord (BWV 1014–1019) represent some of Bach's most eloquent and ingenious contrapuntal writing, where harpsichord and violin form a fully integrated trio texture. In the Sonata Violino solo col Basso in E minor (BWV 1023) the harpsichord takes the usual role of continuo accompaniment. Bach’s authorship of this second selection is still somewhat doubtful.

By popular demand, BALAM presents a sequel performance from the Garden of Love. This version will reunite our winning artist team from the original work but add a new music trio to begin the show, as well as a third masked dance character. Return to the Garden of Love will begin with the Trio Sonata in D Major by Georg Philipp Telemann performed by expert period musicians. Immediately following this piece will be BALAM's new 30-minute theatrical sequel entertainment showcasing a mezzo-soprano and masked Baroque dancers performing as masked fantasy characters to the Entrée d’Apollon by Jean Baptiste Lully, transcription for solo harpsichord by Jean Henri d’Anglebert, excerpts from Francois Couperin’s Concert Royaux, and the aria “Sans Freyeur Dan Ce Bois” by Marc Antoine Charpentier. This magical and charming program suggests the Baroque opera entreact divertissement and combines all the performative arts: music, dance, costumes, and acted text.
