Aristocratic Baroque
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, July 25, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
This week we enjoy a couple of famous baroque works with aristocratic origins. We hear Handel's Royal Fireworks Music which was commissioned by King George II to celebrate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession. The morning's music also includes one of the Brandenburg Concertos written by Bach for the Margrave of Brandenburg who probably never even heard them. Other composers represented this week include Corelli, Vivaldi, and Mancini to name a few.
