Telemann's cantata output is estimated at about 1,700 works, well exceeding his contemporary, J.S. Bach. The five-part cantata Machet die Tore weit (“Open wide the gates”) was composed for the 1st Sunday in Advent in 1719. The lively character of the composition requires lightness and ease in singing, especially in the opening chorus, before the heartbreaking, deeply touching soprano aria Jesu, komm in meine Seele (“Jesus, come into my soul”) begins.

Composer
Georg Philipp Telemann
| 1681-1767Telemann's extremely rich compositional output, the fruits of three quarters of a century's work, encompasses almost all genres of music; in his vocal works it ranges from songs with basso continuo accompaniment to chamber and church cantatas, and to opera. In his own assessment, church music played a central role in his output; he alone probably composed over 1,600 church cantatas, as well as cantata-style funeral music settings (such as Du aber, Daniel, gehe hin), psalm settings (for example, Deus judicium tuum) and oratorios. Throughout his works Telemann showed himself to be a progressive composer, open to new trends and keen to experiment whilst exploring new directions; not without reason was he called a forerunner of classicism. However, his compositions constitute only a part of his importance to music history: as a music publisher, the author of publications for teaching, the director of middle-class music societies and initiator of public concerts, he made a considerable contribution to creating the preconditions for the support of the musically-educated middle classes in the ensuing era of music.
