Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
Wie ist dein Name so groß (Donner-Ode I) TVWV 6:3a
Veni sancte spiritus TWV 3:82
Wie lieblich sind auf den Bergen TVWV 3:61b
Mein Herz ist voll vom Geiste Gottes (Donner-Ode II) TVWV 6:3b
Dich rühmen die Welten TVWV 1:329

Singers of Solomon's Knot join the Swiss Early Music Orchestra, Les Passions de l'Ame, for two Telemann concerts in Bern and in Magdeburg, where the composer originates from. The two parts of the so-called thunder ode which celebrate the Psalms of David, thanks its name to the impressive role of the timpani in the score. The works were first performed in church services in Hamburg between 1756 and 1760 and we will combine them with two of Telemann's later sacred works.
