Subj: Re: [DR-L] Wedding Cantata
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2007 12:26:29 -0500
The Wedding Cantata that I know of is BWV 202 "Weichet nur, betrubte
Schatten" scored for soprano soloist, no chorus, strings, continuo
and solo oboe.
There is a violin obbligato movement and a wonderful oboe obbligatos
also. A lovely score. It last 25 glorious minutes.
