The Bach Sinfonia - The Other Water Music March 22, 2008

The Other Water Music
DANIEL ABRAHAM, conductor

Johann Sebastian Bach: Sinfonia from Am abend aber desselbigen Sabbats, BWV 42
Georg Philipp Telemann: works from Tafelmusik,Production II: Concerto for three violins in F Major
Quartet for two flutes, bassoon and continuo in D minor
Telemann: Water Music

As endearing as the famous counterpart by Handel, Telemann’s Water Musicportrays the ebb and flow of the tides on Hamburg’s Elbe River, the sea-goddess Thetis, a lovesick Neptune, a playful Triton, and the gentle Zephyr breezes. Paired with selections from Tafelmusik (“Table Music”), perhaps Telemann’s most famous work, and a grand sinfonia by Bach in celebration of his 333th Birthday, this performance will be a delight for concertgoers.
