	Georg Philipp Telemann: a detailed biography
		Telemann had every reason to assume that this would be a period of relative stability and accordingly plunged into composing church cantatas, occasional pieces, orchestral and instrumental chamber music.
		Telemann reacted characteristically by threatening to resign: he applied for the post of Kantor of the Leipzig Thomaskirche, and in 1722 was chosen over Bach, Graupner and three other candidates.
		Telemann thereupon redoubled his activities at Hamburg, increasing the number of public concerts given at the churches, the Drill-Hall and at a tavern known as the 'Lower Tree-House', at which a wide variety of sacred and secular music was performed.

	DR 6.4: A repertoire list: works of Georg Philip Telemann which utilize oboe d'amore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Georg Philipp Telemann, one of the most prolific and respected composers of his time, wrote extensively for the oboe d'amore -- at least twenty-two works which use the instrument can be attributed to Telemann.
		Through an examination of Telemann's works for oboe d'amore, which comprise a central part of the instrument's repertoire, it is possible to observe the development of composition for the oboe d'amore, the dissemination of the instrument through musical society, and the style of writing which brought the instrument to the peak of its popularity.
		In his cantatas, Telemann's writing is conservative and his choice of oboe d'amore seems to reflect a preference for its color, its facility in sharp keys, and an aesthetic relationship to texts.
