Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ - We Praise Your Name (TVWV 1:612) (Full Score)

Telemann Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ - We Praise Your Name (TVWV 1:612) (Full Score)

Telemann composed “Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ” (TvWV 1:612) for his cantata cycle of 1710–11.  Although scored without brass instruments or timpani, the brilliant, festive mood of the second day of Christmas prevails.

The opening chorale and the final chorus form a frame for the four solo arias of the main section (ATB).  Here, too, the choral numbers may be, and usually are, taken one to a part.
