The 12 vocal works on this new double CD with L'arpa festante follow without exception the type of the choral cantata "per omnes versus", i.e. a type in which (almost) all the verses of a chorale poem are set to music, and represent a representative cross-section of the most diverse composers.

The 12 vocal works on this new double CD with L'arpa festante follow without exception the type of the choral cantata "per omnes versus", i.e. a type in which (almost) all the verses of a chorale poem are set to music, and represent a representative cross-section of the most diverse composers. This genre is to be distinguished from a cantata with chorale, which is characterised by a mixture of different texts. It is also distinguished from the historically older chorale motet, which does without obbligato instruments, and from the chorale concerto, which is often through-composed. The "heyday" of the chorale cantata "per omnes versus" mentioned at the beginning lies in the period after the Thirty Years' War until shortly after 1700. After that, the chorale - including the chorale poem - loses its importance; it is only with Johann Sebastian Bach that the chorale is given a new, pre-eminent position in the church music of his time, albeit under changed stylistic conditions.

Cobos initially began as an arranger and composer for a Los Angeles latin-soul aggregation called 'Conexión' who released a number of popular dance cuts and one album including "I will pray" from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.

Technical drawings by the architects and engineers of the Renaissance made use of a range of new methods of graphic representation. These drawings—among them Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawings of mechanical devices—have long been studied for their aesthetic qualities and technological ingenuity, but their significance for the architects and engineers themselves is seldom considered. The essays in Picturing Machines 1400-1700 take this alternate perspective and look at how drawing shaped the practice of early modern engineering. They do so through detailed investigations of specific images, looking at over 100 that range from sketches to perspective views to thoroughly constructed projections.
