April 20 - Georg Michael Telemann (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Georg Michael Telemann (20 April 1748 – 4 March 1831) was a composer and organist, and grandson of Georg Philipp Telemann.

Family Affair


Georg Michael Telemann

Doomed to obscurity,

Relied on his bloodline

For social security.


Each Lent, while in Riga.

In spite of new fashions,

He proudly presented his

Grandfather’s Passions.
