Lawrence Bennett provides a comprehensive study of the rich
repertoire of accompanied vocal chamber music that entertained the
imperial family in Vienna and their guests throughout the 17th and
early 18th centuries. The cantata became a form of elite
entertainment composed to amuse listeners during banquets or pay
homage to members of the royal family during special occasions.
Concentrating on Baroque cantatas composed in the Habsburg court,
Bennett draws extensively on primary source material to explore the
stylistic changes that occurred within the genre in the generations
before Haydn and Mozart.The cantata became a form of elite
