  • 1. Chorus

    Let all the gates be raised,
    and the world’s great doors be raised high,
    that the King of all glory may enter.
    Who is this marvelous King of all glory?
    It is the Lord
    strong and mighty in strife.
    It is the Lord Sabaoth,
    he is the King of all glory. Selah.
    Ps 24:7–10

    2. Aria (Soprano)

    Jesu, come and fill my spirit;
    let it be thy dwelling place.
    Drive from it the dust of sin,
    Glory, lust, and earthly gain;
    grant it thy great light of grace.

    3. Recitative (Tenor)

    I gladly will prepare the way to cheer thee,
    and cast the garments of blest modesty,
    of true repentance, and true faith before thee.

  • 1. Chor

    Machet die Tore weit
    und die Türen in der Welt hoch,
    dass der König der Ehren einziehe.
    Wer ist derselbige König der Ehren?
    Es ist der Herr,
    stark und mächtig im Streit.
    Es ist der Herr Zebaoth,
    er ist der König der Ehren. Sela.
    Ps 24,7–10

    2. Arie (Sopran)

    Jesu, komm in meine Seele,
    lass sie deine Wohnung sein.
    Treib aus ihr der Sünden Wust,
    Ehre, Geiz und Fleischeslust,
    gönn ihr deiner Gnaden Schein.

    3. Rezitativ (Tenor)

    Ich will zum Einzug gern die Bahn bereiten
    und dir die Kleider einer heilgen Scheu
    von wahrer Buß und Glauben unterbreiten.
    Nur stehe mir mit deinem Geiste bei,

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.333

    Klaus Hofmann
    Translation: E. D. Echols

    “But this I well know,” Telemann wrote in his autobiography of 1718, “that I have at all times treasured church music most, in that category have done research in the works of other composers and also have written the most works myself …” According to his report, the number of his own compositions must already then have been more than 500 church works, and probably more than 1,000 additional works were to follow in the almost fifty productive years that Telemann was yet to enjoy. Many of the compositions have been lost. Moreover, not all of the preserved works have been properly inspected; not even a tenth have been made available in new editions. Thus, despite the praiseworthy preliminary efforts of individual researchers, no complete evaluation of Telemann’s artistic achievement in this sector – nor, in particular, of his role and significance in the history of German Protestant church music next to and in the time of Bach – has yet appeared.

    Telemann’s more than 1,500 church works are the product of a long and highly dynamic artistic life that stretched out over three-quarters of a century of active creativity. The most important stations of his life:

    »Dieses aber weiß [ich] wol«, schreibt Telemann in seiner 1718 verfassten Autobiographie, »daß ich allemahl die Kirchen-Music am meisten werth geschätzet / am meisten in andern Autoribus ihrentwegen geforschet / und auch das meiste darinnen ausgearbeitet habe …«. Nach seinem Bericht müssen es damals bereits mehr als 500 Kirchenkompositionen gewesen sein; und wohl mehr als 1000 sind in den fast fünfzig Schaffensjahren, die Telemann noch beschieden sein sollten, hinzugekommen. Vieles davon ist untergegangen. Doch auch das Erhaltene ist bislang nicht vollständig gesichtet, und nicht einmal ein Zehntel davon ist durch Neuausgaben erschlossen. So steht, trotz verdienstvoller Vorarbeiten einzelner Musikforscher, eine volle Würdigung der künstlerischen Leistung Telemanns auf diesem Gebiet, vor allem aber seiner Rolle und Bedeutung für die Geschichte der evangelischen Kirchenmusik um und neben Bach, noch aus.

    Telemanns mehr als anderthalbtausend Kirchenkompositionen sind der Ertrag eines langen und bewegten Künstlerlebens, das ein Dreivierteljahrhundert schöpferischer Aktivität in sich schließt. Die wichtigsten Stationen dieses Lebens sind: Magdeburg, die Stadt, in der Telemann am 14. März

  • 1. Chorus and Recitative (Alto) Now come, the nations’ Saviour,
    born of man as maid most pure;
    let all peoples marvel then
    that God has sent us his Son.
    The Saviour comes among us,
    in our own humble flesh and blood
    our help to bring us,
    and he adopts us now to be his own.
    O blest and highest good,
    what deeds of love hast thou not done?
    What wilt thou not do daily to sustain us?
    Thou mak’st each day thy light
    of blessing shine upon us.

    2. Aria (Soprano) Come, Jesu, to thy congregation,
    and grant a blest and good new year.
    Inspire us all to bring thee honor,
    uphold thy teaching as thy banner,
    and bless thou all who enter here.

  • 1. Chor und Rezitativ (Alt) Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
    der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
    dass sich wunder alle Welt,
    Gott solch Geburt ihm bestellt.
    Der Heiland ist gekommen,
    hat unser armes Fleisch und Blut
    an sich genommen
    und nimmt uns selbst zu Blutsverwandten an.
    O allerhöchstes Gut!
    Was hast du nicht an uns getan!
    Was tust du nicht noch täglich an den Deinen!
    Du kommst und lässt dein Licht
    mit vollem Segen scheinen.

    2. Arie (Sopran) Komm, Jesu, komm zu deiner Kirche
    und gib ein selig neues Jahr!
    Befördre deines Namens Ehre!
    Erhalte die gesunde Lehre
    und segne Kanzel und Altar!

  • Telemann'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.
