Summary note
Lawrence Bennett provides a first-ever comprehensive study of the rich but little-known repertoire of accompanied vocal chamber music that entertained the imperial family in Vienna and their guests throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Cantatas became a form of elite entertainment, composed to amuse listeners during banquets and academic meetings, or pay homage to member of the royal family for birthdays, name days, and special occasions such as miltary victories or coronations. Concentrating on Baroque cantatas composed in the Habsburg court, Bennett draws extensively on primary source material to explore the stylistic changes that occured within the musical genre in the generations before Haydn and Mozart.
