These cantatas and concerts compose an appealing pastorale of Peace restored, vividly evoking the sound of war - as imagined at court, with symphonies of trumpets, fifes and drums, followed by an invocation to peace, whose descent is followed by divertissements to the sound of musettes and the delights of the Isle of Delos, the domain of Apollo, surrounded by the Muses and happy birds and shepherds.

With the soprano Dorothée Leclair, an exciting new discovery.
