Composer Study - Georg Philipp Telemann

Georg Philipp Telemann

"Telemann could write a church piece in eight parts with the same expedition that another would write a letter." ~ Handel

Georg Philip Telemann (1681 – 1767), a German Baroque composer, was one of the most prolific composers, writing over 3,000 compositions. Telemann was friends with Johann Sebastian Bach, musical leader of five churches in Hamburg, but had a troubled personal life. He was a driving force in the style of the Baroque period and though he fell out of favor in the 19th century, people are starting to once again recognize his genius.
