Auf Gott will ich mich stets verlassen
Cantata TVWV 1:100
The duet cantata Auf Gott will ich mich stets verlassen is a type of "sacred chamber music" in whose four movements Telemann knows to use the small but colorful ensemble of soprano, bass, recorder, violin and continuo to best advantage. The beautiful, confessional Baroque poetry of Erdmann Neumeister deals with trust in God and merges into thoughts about death. To this latter theme, the instruments intone the well-known chorale "Herzlich tut mich verlangen nach einem selgen End".

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.

Reviews
Das zehnminütige Werk ist eine willkommene Bereicherung des Repertoires für entsprechende Besetzungen und Anlässe.
Reinhard Krämer, Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik, 2/2017
Bei dieser Kantate dürfte es sich um ein Frühwerk Telemanns handeln... Eine Besonderheit dieser Kantate ist die obligate Flötenstimme im letzten Satz...
