Telemann always in high steem in his life time due to his music, specially his sacred output, showing a natural talent-like in those affairs.
The two cantatas spanning this album, were intended for the court of Eisenach as part of a yearly cycle, even though, Telemann by that time (the time when it is supposed the two cantatas were composed, that it is thought was after 1721) was "non resident musical director" of Eisenach's, but continued to receive assignments.
German christmas music in the XVIII century wasn't as nowadays where "happy" carols are the common. In fact, regarding just the aesthetics, what changes is just the text, comparing with church music for other festivities. Very different for example Spain or the New Spain where christmas carols were at first.
Happy listenning and enjoy!!!
