In this five-movement Passion cantata dating from Telemann’s Frankfurt years, the vocalist and the violist are each given attractive, though not excessively difficult tasks. This edition contains the original version for voice, viola and basso continuo, as well as the version by Telemann’s successor at Frankfurt, Johann Balthasar König (1691–1758), which includes ad libitum parts for tutti violins and oboe.

Composer
Georg Philipp Telemann
| 1681-1767Telemann's extremely rich compositional output, the fruits of three quarters of a century's work, encompasses almost all genres of music; in his vocal works it ranges from songs with basso continuo accompaniment to chamber and church cantatas, and to opera. In his own assessment, church music played a central role in his output; he alone probably composed over 1,600 church cantatas, as well as cantata-style funeral music settings (such as Du aber, Daniel, gehe hin), psalm settings (for example, Deus judicium tuum) and oratorios. Throughout his works Telemann showed himself to be a progressive composer, open to new trends and keen to experiment whilst exploring new directions; not without reason was he called a forerunner of classicism. However, his compositions constitute only a part of his importance to music history: as a music publisher, the author of publications for teaching, the director of middle-class music societies and initiator of public concerts, he made a considerable contribution to creating the preconditions for the support of the musically-educated middle classes in the ensuing era of music.
