The Early Garden

One hour of browsing through early music, with an accent on Masses.

Browsing through sacred early music. Today: early German cantatas from Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann, Franz Tunder and Johann Mattheson.

We start with the reconstructed cantanta “Alles, was von Gott geboren” from Johann Sebastian Bach. The original cantata was lost, but as Bach used parts to compose the later cantata “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott”, it could be recreated.
Then a cantata from the collection ‘Harmonischer Gottes-Dienst’ from Georg Philipp Telemann, and a ‘Geistliches Konzert’ from Franz Tunder, the originator of the so called ‘Abendmusiken’ in Lübeck.
Finally, a magnificat for two choirs from Johann Mattheson, writer of the book ‘Der vollkommene Capellmeister’, which is one of the most important sources of information on how music was composed and interpreted during the baroque period.
