Members of the Baroque Music Ensemble perform two oratorios by Giacomo Carissimi: Jepthe and Jonah. Carissimi’s setting of Jepthe for six voices and continuo is remarkable for its exquisite choruses and heartfelt laments. Equally dramatic is Jonah, scored for multiple soloists, chorus, violins, and continuo. Rounding out the program are two richly harmonic and virtuosic concerto grossi of Pietro Locatelli. 

Pietro Locatelli, Concerto Grosso in F Minor

Giacomo Carissimi, Jepthe

Antonio Vivaldi, Concerto for Two Oboes in C Major

Pietro Locatelli, Concerto à imitazione de Corni da Caccia

Pietro Locatelli, Concerto Grosso in D Major

Giacomo Carissimi, Jonah
