A tireless and brilliant composer, Telemann, as a good Lutheran, published in Leipzig in 1725–26 a cycle of 72 sacred cantatas. Published in three volumes, they cover a complete liturgical year and are destined for a solo voice, the basso continuo and a solo instrument (flute, recorder, oboe or violin). The formal unicity adds further coherence to this cycle: each of these cantatas is composed of two da capo arias surrounding a central recitative. Among the six cantatas for soprano, violin and basso continuo, Rosasolis has gathered four, which the profane Sonate Metodiche echo, genuine gems of the art of instrumental ornamentation.
