 Another element that is different between Telemann's and Sebastian Bach's works is viewpoint.Telemann was not a "preacher" like Bach was, although he did have a theological background and education.Telemann's viewpoint was that of the Enlightenment, which placed less emphasis on Christ's divinity and more on his humanity (to the extent that in many arias in both Telemann's and Emanuel Bach's works, Christ is referred to as "Menschenfreund" ("Friend of Man")).
