Kapitänsmusik

The Hamburgische Kapitänsmusik (Hamburg Captain’s Music) refers to a body of compositions by Georg Philipp Telemann.

[2] Later on, he evokes the spirit of Prince Eugene (Der Adler führt die Legionen, "The Eagle leads the legions to battle") and says: Mein Schwert wird weit von euren Grenzen, Wird bloß Byzanz zum Schrecken glänzen.

There, my arm will fight for Germany's glory, There, I will wrest Habsburg's territories From the hands of the Saracens, Whose sanctuary will be destroyed at once.

[3] This recitative ends in the aria Ihr Deutschen auf, inciting the Germans to take arms against the enemies of the fatherland.

Finally, Chorus chants a paean about Germany's glory and the necessity of unity amongst all Germans: Deutschlands Ruhm soll ewig stehen.
