context_page_description: Hamburger Admiralitätsmusik TWV 24:1 is a secular oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra composed by Georg Philipp Telemann to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hamburg's admiralty. It was first performed on April 6, 1723, along with Telemann's Wassermusik at a banquet for the city's merchants, sea captains, and councillors that lasted until dawn. The work is on a nautical theme and set to verses by Michael Richey, a professor at the Johanneum school in Hamburg where Telemann also taught.
