In the middle of life, standing firmly on the ground and yet knowing the finiteness of this life ...
The eternal cycle of birth, life and death found its musical expression in sacred cantatas and madrigals of the Baroque. Joy, irony, consolation, words of love up to erotic allusions, these lyrical and musical vocal works reproduce all of this.

For the Schwetzingen rococo theater, the conductor Clemens Flick, who specializes in baroque performance practice, and the director Claudia Isabel Martin, together with four singers and musicians: from the Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra, set up a baroque music theater in moving images and on the pillars of 17th century German vocal music Room sounds. The centerpiece will be one of the most beautiful traditional works of this era: Johann Christoph Bach's (1645—1693) wedding cantata "My friend, you are beautiful", which is based on verses from the Song of Solomon. We owe their knowledge to Johann Sebastian Bach, who kept the musical legacy of his forefathers alive in the form of the "Altbach Archive". Now it is time to make this musical treasure known to the public again.
