Georg Phillipp Telemann was likely the most prolific composer of his time. He and Johann Sebastian Bach were contemporaries and friends. In fact, Telemann was the godfather to one of Bach’s many children! Telemann’s Alster Echo Overture refers to a lake outside of Hamburg where Telemann lived and worked. This piece is a great early example of programmatic music that will paint a picture lakeside for all to enjoy. Also on the program is Bach’s famous Ricercare a 6, more commonly known as Bach’s Musical Offering is an example of genius at work. This particular work combines six independent voices into one cohesive whole.
