Georg Philipp Telemann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Philipp Telemann (14 March 1681 – 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches. While Telemann's career prospered, his personal life was always troubled: his first wife died only a few months after their marriage, and his second wife had extramarital affairs and accumulated a large gambling debt before leaving Telemann.

Telemann was one of the most prolific composers in history[1] (at least in terms of surviving oeuvre)[2] and was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the leading German composers of the time—he was compared favorably both to his friend Johann Sebastian Bach, who made Telemann the godfather and namesake of his son Carl Philipp Emanuel, and to George Frideric Handel, whom Telemann also knew personally. Telemann's music incorporates several national styles (French, Italian) and is even at times influenced by Polish popular music. He remained at the forefront of all new musical tendencies and his music is an important link between the late Baroque and early Classical styles.

You’ve posted some really good tunage Whiskey, and now one of my very favorite composers...and I thank you. I do wonder when the JJ Cale’s coming though.

Some things are so strange. I had just walked over to my music collection and pulled out Telemann’s Recorder Concertos to listen to.

I sat back down at the computer and refreshed the page and here’s a thread on Telemann.

I could write volumes about things like that that happen to me almost daily.

Thanks for posting. I, too am a Telemann fan.

This is such great music. Now I'm going to be up for another hour listening to it.

The Baroque Era produced some great music and it's amazing that we can still listen to it hundreds of years later - just as it sounded back then. I can almost imagine being in that time, strolling through some village square on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
