By Baroque music, most people will imagine glorious, serious compositions, but the joyful and humorous work are the same importance. Composers such as Johann Heinrich Schmelzer and Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber hid jokes to entertain their listeners, such as animal sounds or even imitation of the sounds of fencing. Meret Lüthi, the founder of the Passion de l'Ame Baroque Orchestra, would like to emphasize these jokes.
