Title: Piesňová zbierka Singende Geographie TWV 25:1 – 36 a jej miesto v pedagogickej tvorbe Georga Philippa Telemanna
Author: Karol Medňanský
Abstract: Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) ranks among the most prominent German Late Baroque composers. His significance has been revealing itself fully only in the recent 3 or 4 decades. His talent manifested considerably as early as in his childhood. While studying in Hildesheim he composed an interesting song collection Singende Geographie TWV 25:1 using the lyrics of his teacher Losius. The Singing Geography for solo voice with the accompaniment of basso continuo collects 36 songs mapping the period geographic shape of Europe and the world, bringing also some mental and melodic-rhythmic features of the named countries. The architectonic structure and the melodic-harmonic proceeding of the songs are relatively simple; however, they already disclose the exceptional talent of their author. The collection is mainly designed for domestic music-making, as well as for teaching, but today it can be also heard at concerts as an equal musical piece. The overall musical character of the songs is bound with the affect theory and related musical rhetorics. The performer or the teacher using the collection in their teaching practice have to be thoroughly acquainted with both these general aspects of Baroque music.
