A predecessor of classical harmony music were the so-called Bandes de hautbois, with which the German courts copied the Grande écurie, the military music of Louis XIV. Originally intended as military and ceremonial music, they soon took over - supplemented by other wind instruments - more and more tasks in the entertainment music at court. In contrast to the classical harmony of in contrast to the classical harmony of two oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons, the instrumentation and form were not yet standardized in the Baroque period, but were adapted to the respective performance conditions. They therefore offered composers room for sound experiments, for trying out new instruments and forms Forms. The Ensemble Lingua Franca under Benoït Laurent has recorded here some particularly charming examples of baroque harmony music, including a recently rediscovered work with solo oboe da caccia.
