The project is centred around Handel's Neun Deutsche Arien, set to the texts of Barthold Heinrich Brockes. With exemplary obligato-style writing, frequent appearances in recital repertoires, and few recordings available, we have decided to share our interpretations of the arias. Sweet Stillness puts the Nine German Arias in a revised order which Brockes intimated for them, called the Fr\\xfchlings-Cantata (Spring Cantata). This order makes them much more suited for a sequential performance than the original autograph, which places many arias in the same key as the one that follows; in Brockes' order, pleasing key relations between arias emerge. These historical texts have also been given a modern twist by translating and distilling each text into two lines of English prose, specially and newly written by Baroque cellist Jonathan Rees, who is a close friend. Indeed, the album is an interdisciplinary project of poetry, music and art, connected thematically by nature but also through a collaborative effort borne of friendship. Many of our peers and close friends have contributed to the album's artwork; cover art shot by operatic tenor Andrew Staples, sleeve notes from oboist Leo Duarte, and translations hand-written in ink calligraphy by baroque violinist Julia Kuhn which have been set upon vibrant watercolours hand-painted by Rees.\u003cp\u003e9 German Arias: Die ihr aus dunklen Gru\\\\u0308ften, HWV 208\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 German Arias: Das zitternde Gl\\xe4nzen der spielenden Wellen, HWV 203\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 German Arias: Meine Seele h\\xf6rt im Sehen, HWV 207\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata in G Minor, HWV 364a: 1.
