Telemann
Wassermusik (Hamburger Ebb’ und Flut)
I. OuvertureMusica antiqua Köln
Certain comparisons between Telemann’s 1723 suite and its counterpart by Handel are obvious, but in Telemann’s work an effort is made to present various scenes and themes related to the sea—the ouverture is said to depict the Baltic Sea under both calm and windy conditions, and the other movements have titles which evoke maritime mythology.
