Chapel, Court, and Countryside

After having a long day at work, I ended it with an evening concert at the university campus that was presented by the UCSB Musica Antiqua entitled Chapel, Court, and Countryside It was a truly sublime concert, featuring Baroque works for church, stately home, and pastoral settings. It included pieces of Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Handel, and Bach. There were also a few others with whom I was not familiar such as Heinrich Biber, Johann Rosenmuller, and Georg Telemann. I particularly liked Handel's operatic pieces, which were taken from Orlando and Alcina. Excellent!
