La Terra è liberata
(Apollo e Dafne), HWV 122 |
| |
|
Guaranteed to move even the
most staid, these remarkable cantatas present
some of the most powerful music of the baroque
for voice and orchestra. Ich habe genug
recounts the story of Simeon welcoming the inner
peace of death at the end of a long life.
Likewise, the Buxtehude presents a reflective
text of understanding and appreciation. Handel's
secular Apollo e Dafne tells the tale
of the beautiful nymph Dafne's attempts to
reject the god Apollo's unwanted attention. In
exasperation after her efforts fail, Dafne turns
herself into a laurel bush, breaking the heart
of the arrogant deity.
