With this
pastoral Christmas
cantata by the
long-serving Royal
Hofkapellmeister of
Vienna, Johann Heinrich
Schmelzer, we wish to
draw attention to a
prominent baroque
composer whose vocal and
instrumental works have
yet to achieve their
historical place in the
early music scene which
they richly deserve.
Schmelzer's easily
performable pastoral
music is characterized by
simple melodic lines in
an alpine idiom, partly
in the style of Venetian
baroque opera. A texture
of five to seven voices
alternates with settings
for one or two voices
accompanied by continuo.
