ARCATA BAROQUE journey’s through the year with Henry Purcell's frosty setting of Motteux's poem, followed by Arne's Shakespeare settings and Hayes' cantata set in Ross-on-Wye. The transition to spring occurs in Daniel Purcell's Cantata featuring the despairing Clorinda as she awaits the return of her beloved Damon. The programme concludes with a scorching scene of summer by Boismortier.
