CONCERT SERIES 2010 Concert 3
CANTATAS & CONCERTOS: TELEMANN & BACH
8.00 pm, Wednesday 4 August, 2010

The highlight of our Bach Week is this full length
performance in Trinity College
Chapel, in which members of The Parley of
Instruments compare and contrast music by
Johann Sebastian Bach and his friend and
rival Georg Philipp Telemann. Bach's
expressive penitential Cantata No. 199 Mein
Herze schwimmt im Blut is contrasted with Telemann's mock lament for a
dead canary. Telemann's great A minor suite for recorder and strings, his
chaconne for two recorders and strings, and a reconstructed oboe concerto
by Bach demonstrate the inventive ways in which both composers wrote for
Baroque woodwind instruments.
