I have now recorded all seven movements of the Wedding Divertissement (just three in a previous thread).

That's fantastic! Recording all seven movements is no small feat, and it must be so rewarding to see your progress. I can only imagine the beautiful music you've brought to life!
By the way, have you thought about incorporating your musical talents into a wedding video? It could add such a special touch and create lasting memories for the couple. Just a suggestion!
Very nice baroque style and a beautiful singing tone on that mandolin. I have a set of Telemann duets which I play (mandocello) with a friend, I will look into these wedding pieces, I think they would work nicely. I am guessing the scores are available, but have you posted the sheet music?
Telemann deserves much more attention; like all baroque composers he lives on in the shadow of Bach and (I think the less creative) Vivaldi. Thank you for this and your other excellent offerings.

Thank you, @Shamebratt and Jim (and also for reviving the thread).
John Goodin's Telemann for Mandolin book has the Bourrée and Passepied, melody only, which is where I started. I then did a continuo part for those two and put together the other five movements, from scores on IMSLP. I see that I did create a Dropbox folder at the time, but I am not sure how far I shared it. It includes tab. If that is distracting, I would be happy to share pdfs of just the notation. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/mqbf6...w4whwlgzq&dl=0 (I think they might work very well with mandocello, Jim.)
A wedding video? It is an idea. We have a big one in the family this year...
I looked at your dropbox scores but did not see a bass continuo part; I assume you mean the guitar in treble clef. I looked around on IMSLP and found some nice Telemann duets (treble and bass clefs) but scanned from original copy, a little hard on the old eyes. Still looking for the wedding suite. I will work on a few of these duets to have a modern print version. Thank you for the lead on this and again fine stylistic playing.

Jim, yes that is what I meant. I would struggle to read bass clef on the guitar (i know some do). And thanks for taking up the baton.
