Händel's music in the piece Il delirio amoroso birthed the difference between the true beauty of the ether on one side and the divine beauty of the nymph Chloris and the natural beauty of the shepherd Tirsi on the other. In order to unite the three kinds of beauty in love, as love is sparked by beauty, Érōs binds the soul of the nymph Chloris to the soul of the shepherd Tirsi, whose sudden death scatters their two beauties. Chloris now seems to have „two hearts in her bosom“. She is even willing to descend into Pluto's kingdom of shadows to save her beloved, though even there she is not in his favor and he flees from her. Despite that, she remains steadfast in her love and beckons him to go to the Elysian Fields with her. Only there, in Elysium, does the time that divides the three beauties cease to flow. There's no distance, no emptiness. Life there is not layered by space and time, it is like a lightning flame and a torchlight born of the ether's nearness, it is mad and reckless, and it longs for innocence, which guards its distance even in the greatest closeness. In the beings of Elysium, the ether neither hides itself, which is death, nor it reveals itself, which is life. Instead, the ether draws longing like a bow and expands its circle with fantasy, which causes the heart to burn out more and more. This ethereal aspect of love thereby resurrects itself from oblivion into non-oblivion, stepping out of the dreamworld of fantasy into the awakeness of its thunderous silence. This Elysian awakeness, in which the winter and the summer solstice are united in love, because the dividing time flows no more, corresponds to the music created for the Christmas night, Fatta per la notte di Natale. That is actually the other name of the Concerto grosso in g - minor op. 6, no. 8, by Arcangelo Corelli, which precedes Händel's Il delirio amoroso in tonight's concert, and is ingeniously announced by Händel's Oboe Concerto no. 3 in g - minor, tonight's opening piece.
