Description:
Cantata for high voice, alto recorder (violin), and basso continuo
From "Harmonischer Gottesdienst," TWV 1:1069
Edited by Franz Müller-Busch
Thorough bass arrangement by Eckhart Kuper
In 1725, Georg Philipp Telemann's annual collection of cantatas was published in Hamburg under the title:
Harmonischer / Gottes-Dienst / oder / geistliche / Cantaten / zum allgemeinen Gebrauche /
which / are intended to promote both private / and public / church worship /
are intended for the customary Sunday and feast-day / epistles throughout the year / … /
Set to music and prepared for print / by /
Georg Philipp Telemann / Chori Musici Hamb. Director / …
The cantata "Locke nur, Erde, mit schmeichelndem Reize!" is assigned to the 23rd Sunday after Trinity. The TVWV lists the cantata under number 1:1069. The text is by Michael Richey (1678-1761) and refers primarily to chapter 3 of Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, verses 17 through 21. Additional passages are taken from Matthew 11:30 and Psalm 16:11.
This edition is based on the 1725 print, which is preserved in the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Giedde's Music Collection, under the call number [mu 6208.0586 (XI, 8)]. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Music Department, especially Ms. Susanne Thorbek, for their kind support and permission to reprint.
The notation (clefs, accidentals, etc.) has been adapted to current standards, but we have deliberately refrained from modernizing the text. Additions and corrections by the editor are indicated directly in the musical text using parentheses or strikethroughs. A few errors have been corrected without comment.
In the preliminary report on the "Harmonious Divine Service," Telemann discusses in detail a wide variety of aspects of performance practice. For example, this cantata is written for a high voice—specifically for soprano or tenor. In the ripieno passages marked "forte," the recorder may be supported by a violin playing an octave lower than notated. The recorder part can be taken over entirely by a violin, in which case, at the very least, the ripieno passages should be transposed down an octave.
Telemann discusses the treatment of the singing voice in the recitative in detail and uses numerous musical examples to illustrate that the notation often deviates significantly from the intended performance. This applies in particular to the last two notes before rests, though passing notes and appoggiaturas may also be inserted in other places. Naturally, the recitative should be sung with free rhythm. Detailed explanations regarding the performance of recitatives in church can be found, among other places, in Tosi/Agricola's Guide to the Art of Singing.
