Summary:

Following on their exploration of seventeenth-century English song (Perpetual Night), Sébastien Daucé, the Ensemble Correspondances and Lucile Richardot find themselves on the shores of the Baltic Sea in the same century. They have unearthed a treasury of music both beautiful and rare: the sacred music of the Court of Stockholm. This is a fascinating musical voyage in the form of a meditation on the meaning of life, and it's ending.
