These three pieces are specimens of music written for the theatre in the Netherlands in the baroque era. They are very different in character, though. The largest work, with music by Carolus Hacquart, was composed for the celebrations of the Peace of Nijmegen of 1678 which brought the war between France and the Netherlands to a close. It is not known whether it was ever performed in the form which the composer had in mind.
