Summary
It is well known that most of Telemann’s regular church music was conceived in the context of annual cantata cycles. Yet there are still many individual works that have not been assigned to any cycle, raising the possibility that they may offer clues to identifying previously unknown ones. In some fortunate circumstances, published poetry allows us to assign music to a particular cantata cycle, as in the case of poems by Erdmann Neumeister, Tobias Heinrich Schubart, Gottfried Behrndt, and others. When this is not the case, one must investigate formal, musical, or other parameters in order to establish a likely connection to a cycle. These methodological possibilities are applied here to identify a fragmentarily preserved cycle that was first performed in Hamburg during the 1733–34 church year.
