Quatorze and The Sydney Cantata Project with afternoon tea
About
A concert featuring Bach‘s Coffee Cantata, arias from other cantatas, and other works from the era of Frederick The Great. Though more famous for his sacred music, the occasional secular gem showed Bach to be a humorous and inventive chap. Described as a mini comic opera, Schweight stille, paudert nicht (Be still, stop chattering), is an amusing portrayal and celebration of a coffee addiction. It was likely first performed in a Leipzig coffee house, the three characters a Soprano, a Tenor and a Bass singer, with 2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Bass, Harpsichord and Flute.Quatorze is an early music ensemble playing historic instruments with players:
Fiona McMillan oboe
Ruth Crosby traverso flute
