Just like a typical weekly Sunday Baroque program, this CD includes a wide variety of music that spans the continuum of the baroque era (1600-1750), including the years leading up to it, and just after the “official” end of the baroque. The earliest music on the CD includes a 1605 cantata by Claudio Monteverdi and anonymous 16th century tunes. The latest music is a set of virtuosic variations by Louis Francois Drouet (born in 1792) on the melody GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
