Georg Philipp Telemann was born in Magdeburg, the son of a Lutheran deacon who died in 1685, leaving the mother to raise their three children alone. The youth showed remarkable talent in music, but was temporarily discouraged in his chosen pursuit by Puritan Lutherans, who told Telemann's mother that he would turn out no better than "a clown, a tightrope walker or a marmot-trainer." In opposition to his mother's wishes, Telemann continued to study in secrecy until she relented, allowing him to train under the highly respected Kantor Benedict Christiani, at the Old City School. Outside of some early lessons in reading tablature, Telemann was self-taught and was capable of playing the flute, violin, viola da gamba, oboe, trombone, double bass, and several keyboard instruments. Telemann began to write music from childhood, producing an opera, Sigismundus, by age 12.

The Harmonischer Gottes-Dienst oder Geistliche Cantaten (Hamburg 1725), Ist Widerwärtigkeit den Frommen eigen, Am andern Sonntage nach dem Feste der heil. drei Könige

The "Harmonischer Gottes-Dienst" is a collection of cantatas by Telemann for one voice, one solo instrument and basso continuo and was published by Georg Philipp Telemann sometime in 1726. There is one cantata for each feast and Sunday during the year, but the collection remains incomplete.
