In his cantata about the nymph Melisse and her three suitors, the shepherd Coridon, the gardner Melanthus and the fisher Polidor, who is ultimately chosen and thus becomes "happy” [glücklich], the Hamburg Baroque master Reinhard Keiser pulled out all the stops of his compositional talent; especially striking is his art of characterization through instrumental means. The print is very clearly presented and even though the musical examples are presented in German the written instructions and explanations are in English. This is an excellent text for teachers wanting to find new and challenging approaches for their students. (George Frock Percussive Notes)
