PHILIPP HEINRICH ERLEBACH (1657-1714): Sonatas 2 and 5, Lieder: Seine Not recht überlegen wird manch Tränen-bad erregen, Des Radlers Stich verlache ich, Liebe in Abwesenheit grünen durch Beständigkeit, Wer sich dem Himmel übergeben, wird endlich Ruh’ und Glück erleben, An Jammer und Beschwerlichkeit, da fehlt es hier zu keiner Zeit, Auf des Kreuzes Finsternis folgt die Sonne ganz gewiss, Ich finde schlechte Freud bei Unempfindlichkeit, Die Zeit verkehret, was uns beschweret.

Description: A program of vocal pieces by Erlebach, a large part of whose output was destroyed in a fire at Rudolstadt Castle in 1735. Among the works that have come down to us are the two collections Harmonische Freude musikalischer Freunde, containing respectively fifty and twenty-five arias for one to four solo voices, instrumental ensemble and basso continuo. Most of the German texts of these pieces depict humankind at the mercy of an unpredictable and volatile destiny. Alongside natural phenomena such as storms, dark clouds and withered leaves, the poet also chooses the expression ‘bloody comets’ as a metaphor for torment and ‘the distress of the heart’. German-French texts. Le Banquet Céleste; Damien Guillon (countertenor).
