Diana su l’Elba is one of two serenatas that Johann David Heinichen composed for the famous celebration of the wedding of the German prince Friedrich August III and the Austrian archduchess Maria Josepha in September 1719, this one performed on a ship in the Elba to inaugurate one of the hunts that took place. The music contains features found in Venetian music of the day that was popular at the Dresden court. This serenata demonstrates Heinichen's brilliant and sometimes spectacular style of composition at the time he was emerging as the leading composer at the Dresden court.
