Music year 1745
God save our king
The hymn God Save the King will be performed for the first time on September 28th in an arrangement by Thomas Arne in honor of King George II of Great Britain and Ireland. The authorship for the work is claimed by the son of the poet Henry Carey for his father. While the lyrics could well have come from him, the origin of the melody is unclear.

Events

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Johann Sebastian Bach has been the Thomaskantor and musical director of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig since May 30, 1723 . From 1729 to 1741, perhaps even until 1746, he was also the director of the Collegium musicum founded in 1701 by Georg Philipp Telemann . The concerts take place once or twice a week in the Zimmermannisches Caffee-Hauß (destroyed in the war in 1943) or in the associated garden.
  • In the 1740s, Bach - with a few exceptions - withdrew from new compositions for the church. In addition to commissioned work for secular occasions, he concentrates entirely on extensive works for the harpsichord. His eyesight also deteriorates more and more.

georg Friedrich Handel

  • George Frideric Handel has lived in London at 25 Brook Street since July / August 1723 and lived here on two floors until his death in 1759. Almost all works created since 1723 are composed in this house. Preparations for the performances often take place in the Handel dining room .
  • From 1743 to 1752 Handel composed a continuous series of one or two new oratorios per season, most of them on themes from the Old Testament. Aristocratic circles are still trying to bring Handel down for some time. “The entire opera company is in a rage over Handel,” notes a contemporary . In contrast to the times of aristocratic opera, he has no competition as an oratorio composer, but his opponents organize balls and banquets in the evenings of his performances to harm him.
  • January 5th : The dramatic oratorio Hercules by George Frideric Handel is premiered at the Theater Royal, Covent Garden , London.
  • March 27 : The oratorio Belshazzar by George Frideric Handel is premiered at the King's Theater in London.
  • June: The musical epilogue Comus or There in blissfull shades and bow'rs (German: there in blissfull shades and bow'rs , HWV 44) by Georg Friedrich Handel for a performance of the play Comus by John Milton is at the seat of the Earl of Gainsborough in Exton Hall, Exton, Rutland premiered.
  • Georg Friedrich Handel is awarded honorary membership of the Leipzig Corresponding Society of Musical Sciences , founded in 1738 by the physician, mathematician and musicologist Lorenz Christoph Mizler . The members also include Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach.

Domenico Scarlatti

  • Domenico Scarlatti is the Portuguese princess Maria Bárbara de Bragança , whom he met at the court of the pious and extravagant King John V in Lisbon and taught as a music teacher, after her marriage to the Spanish heir to the throne Don Fernando of Asturias (from 1746 King Ferdinand VI. ) followed to Spain. From October 1730 to May 16, 1733, the Alcázares Reales in Seville was his permanent residence and place of work. Then the farm moves north to the area around Madrid , where, depending on the season, it alternates between the castles of Buen Retiro , El Pardo , Aranjuez , La Granja and El Escorial . Scarlatti is probably still in the "private" service of Maria Bárbara and seems to devote himself almost exclusively to the harpsichord and the composition of his sonatas.

  • Scarlatti has been married to his second wife, Anastasia Ximénez, from Cádiz at the latest since 1742.

Georg Philipp Telemann

  • Georg Philipp Telemann has been Cantor Johannei and Director Musices of the city of Hamburg since 1721 , one of the most respected musical offices in Germany. In this position Telemann undertook to compose two cantatas per week and one passion per year, but in later years he would fall back on earlier works for his cantatas. He also composes numerous pieces of music for private and public occasions, such as memorial days and weddings.
  • Telemann also composes numerous funeral music for high-ranking personalities of his time - including in 1745 for Emperor Karl VII.
