Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu (TVWV 6: 6) (Full Score, hardback)

Telemann Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu (TVWV 6: 6) (Full Score, hardback)

Georg Philipp Telemann. Musical Works, Volume 32

A festive piece for church and concert hall

Composed around 1760, “Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu” is one of Telemann’s last large-scale vocal works.  The libretto, by Karl Wilhelm Ramler, recounts the Biblical events from the Resurrection to the Ascension in seven sections.

Alternating between recitative, da capo arias and festive choruses, Telemann succeeds in producing a vivid and effective musical interpretation of the libretto.

The work is ideal for performances in church and concert hall alike.
