Concert XLI "le retour" by Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe

This very whimsical music, is not very much suited for multi track recording, but I just like to do this (And I think, you'll all know).

The artwork in this video is all work called vanitas.
(In the arts, vaitas is a type of symbolic still life painting commonly executed by Northern European painters in Flanders and the Netherlands in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The term vanitas itself refers to the arts, learning and time. The word is Latin, meaning "emptiness" and loosely translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life and the transient nature of vanity.)

Beautiful playing as always! The paintings could be Ecclesiastes applied to the 17th century. Perhaps the unfortunate violist should not have laid his tired head down on the manuscript? Especially ironic is the last skull wearing a victor's laurel wreath. Thank God for "O Death, where is thy victory?" Sic transit gloria mundi, indeed!

To be honest-one of the best from your videos. Visually amazing. And musically also on the very high level. Thank you Ernst
