Compositional Technique

In 'Les Boiteux' (The lame persons) from 'La Bouffonne', Telemann uses repeated octave jumps by the first violin and bass to literally illustrate limping steps.

Compositional Technique

Telemann's Overture 'La Bouffonne' combines French grandeur in slow sections with a turbulent Italianate style in its fugal middle section.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Despite his immense output, Telemann aimed for quality in all his works and possessed an outstanding humorous talent, sometimes bordering on the scabrous.

Composition History

The Cantata 'Der Weiber-Orden' is attributed to 'Melante', an anagram Telemann used between 1712 and 1733, providing a vague indication of its composition date.

Interpretation

Bach Concentus, the orchestra on this recording, uses period instruments and focuses on historical authenticity, including the central role of the basso continuo.

Composer Biography

Georg Philipp Telemann, though considered the greatest German composer in his time, is often overshadowed by his friend and colleague Johann Sebastian Bach today.

Compositional Technique

The Cantata 'Der Weiber-Orden' includes a central aria that calls for a vibrato bow technique to musically represent the rocking of a child.
