"Nun ruhen alle Wälder" (#163)


This is similar to the hymn tune "O Welt, ich muss dich lassen."

"Gott des Himmels und der Erden" (#160a)


The melody of the first phrase matches the meaning in that "des Himmels" ("of heaven") is sung to the highest notes and "der Erden" ("of the earth") is sung to the lowest notes.

Reminder that the little lines above and below the staff in the first set of alternate notes mark where individual instances of alternate notes abut

"Ich dank' dir schon durch deinen" (#159)


It seems that in the first set of alternate notes, the third phrase ends a measure sooner.  This is what I did, but I'm not sure it's exactly what Telemann intended.

"Aus meines Herzens Grunde" (#158)


There have been instances where the alternate notes make the tunes longer, but I think this is the first instance where they make the tune shorter.

This tune has the highest number of sets of alternate notes so far.

16', 8', 4'
