Bootham Baroque present FOLIES & BERGÈRES
Foolish vows, faithful shepherdesses, vengeful gods - and cake!
Vocal and instrumental music by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and her contemporaries.
Rash promises made by powerful males have fatal consequences for Jeptha and Semele in dramatic cantatas by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a keyboard prodigy and favourite of Louis XIV; in vocal works by Julie Pinel, Jean-Baptiste Morin, and Michel Pignolet de Monteclair our shepherdesses range from amorous to spurning love altogether. The afternoon also includes instrumental pieces of charm and character by Jean Danican Philidor and Joseph Bodin de Boismortier.
