To God on high alone be praised Christmas cantata by Georg Philipp Telemann 4-Part - Sheet Music
By Georg Philipp TelemannIn his Christmas cantata Allein Gott in der Hoh sei Ehr (To God, on high alone be praise), Telemann celebrates the birth of Jesus as a symbol of the reconciliation with God and as a message of salvation for a sinful humanity. The cantata makes provision for a competent baritone soloist who sings two challenging arias, as well as a four-part choir which provides the framework for the composition with two unadorned chorale verses and, as a climax, intones the Christmas paean from Luke 2:14 "Ehre sei Gott in der Hohe" (Praise to God in his high heaven). In the first aria, the muted sounds of the optional high trumpet accompany the words "O Freudengetone, wie lieblich, wie schone" (O music of blessing! How lovely, how pleasing), evoking a gentle Christmas luster. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3911900
