| Added by magataganm, 23 Aug 2013 Georg Philipp Telemann (1681 – 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches. While Telemann's career prospered, his personal life was always troubled: his first wife died only a few months after their marriage, and his second wife had extramarital affairs and accumulated a large gambling debt before leaving Telemann. Telemann was one of the most prolific composers in history (at least in terms of surviving oeuvre) and was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the leading German composers of the time—he was compared favorably both to his friend Johann Sebastian Bach, who made Telemann the godfather and namesake of his son Carl Philipp Emanuel, and to George Frideric Handel, whom Telemann also knew personally. Telemann's music incorporates several national styles (French, Italian) and is even at times influenced by Polish popular music. He remained at the forefront of all new musical tendencies and his music is an important link between the late Baroque and early Classical styles. Gott der Hoffnung erfülle euch ("May the god of hope fill you"), BWV 218, is a church cantata, formerly credited to Johann Sebastian Bach, for Whit Sunday, composed in Eisenach in 1717 by Georg Philipp Telemann, with text by Erdmann Neumeister. Although this Soprano Aria was originally written for Voice (Soprano), 2 Horns, 2 Violins, Viola & Continuo , I created this arrangement for Bb Trumpets (2) & Woodwind Quartet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet & Bassoon).
