The three grands motets, Quam dilecta, In convertendo and Deus noster refugium, which Jean-Philippe Rameau composed from 1713 to 1715 are still relatively unknown today. Yet these masterworks can stand comparison to the best works of Michel-Richard de Lalande. They are testimony to Rameau's great contrapuntal mastery and contain beautiful lyrical passages. Quam dilecta and Deus noster refugium have survived only in later sources which originated in about 1770, after Rameau's death, and the works have been rendered in a scoring which does not correspond to his intentions. The present new edition attempts for the first time to reconstruct them as closely as possible to their original form. The edition of In convertendo is based on Rameau's autograph score from 1751.

Volker David Kirchner's works encompass every genre; in addition to numerous compositions for musical theatre and for orchestra, this viola player who formerly played in orchestras and chamber ensembles still shows a preference for composing chamber music. Yet even in this field of 'pure, absolute' music, Kirchner's work has a theatrical quality which shows itself very clearly in his choice of titles (e.g. Mysterion, Il canto della notte, Lamento d'Orfeo, Exil).In this Quintet Kirchner manages to use the various possible combinations of the different instruments to create highly expressive music.
