The series "Vienna - Music of the imperial royal seat" has been initiated with Caldara's Ave maris stella for solo soprano and alto, two obbligato violins and basso continuo. The p erformance dates in the surviving source material show that the piece was performed on 1 February in 1752 and 1754 during the first solemn vespers for Candlemas, probably in the Great Hofburgkapella. The short pleasing piece is suitable in a concertante setting as well as for sacred services (especially on feasts to the Virgin Mary and during vespers), but it is also appropriate for prayer services.
