Telemann’s Pastorelle en Musique belongs to the sub-genre of the Shepherd Play, a kind of Arcadian serenade. It consists of twelve scenes provisionally dated, on stylistic and other grounds, to his Frankfurt years between 1712 and 1721. It was probably scenic and celebratory in nature though the description of "opera" has been appended to it over the years. Whilst it’s not operatic it certainly does contain elements of the set-piece operatic aria. There are opportunities for five solo singers and two choirs (shepherds and shepherdesses). Instrumentally we find that Telemann employs, in addition to a full complement of strings (and gamba), two trumpets, horns and two oboes. (continue)
