Description:
Thunder as a symbol of the merciless and uncontrollable forces of nature: The composition of Telemann's "Donner-Ode" is closely linked to the traumatic earthquake in Lisbon in 1755. The characteristic design of the vocal parts as well as the scoring with three trumpets, solo timpani and instrumental ensemble made this avant-garde work popular and famous during the composer's lifetime; the oratorio thrives on the impressive musical realization of the vivid text.
The composition of the "Donner-Ode" (1756/1760) marks the beginning of Georg Philipp Telemann's ambitious late work, which he deliberately dedicated to vocal composition. The edition presented here is the first to include important, newly discovered sources such as the autograph of the first part of the work.
