As a postlude to Radio 3's Canada 150 celebrations, Hannah French introduces highlights from a concert entitled 'Erbarme dich', cantatas and instrumental music from 17th-century Germany, by Montreal-based Ensemble Masques. The name of the ensemble is inspired by the masques of the Elizabethan England-mystical performances which fused poetry, music, dance and drama.
