Composed around 1760, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is one of Telemann's last large-scale vocal works. The libretto, by Karl Wilhelm Ramler, recounts the Biblical events from the Resurrection to the Ascension in seven sections. Alternating between recitative, da capo arias and festive choruses, Telemann succeeds in producing a vivid and effective musical interpretation of the libretto. This edition is based on the urtext from Georg Philipp Telemann Musical Works and contains a realization of the continuo part. This festive work is ideal for performances in the church and concert hall alike.
