Wedding cantatas will be intertwined with religious chamber pieces showing a consort’s piety, it will be accompanied by instrumental pieces from the courts in Brussels (Giovanni Paolo Foscarini) and the royal court of Warsaw from Marco Schacchi’s Cribrum musicum (1643) and it will all end with songs of mourning and consolation.
