This collection contains three splendid example of Handel's choral music - Saul, Alexander's Feast and The Choice of Hercules. All three are marvellous in their way, and are full of joy and sorrow. The performances are uniformly excellent. They date from Philip Ledger's time as director of music at King's College, Cambridge. The choir feature on all three items, with the English Chamber Orchestra on Saul and Alexander's Feast, and Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields on The Choice of Hercules. Former King's choral scholar Robert Tear is a soloist on all three, along with other distinguished performers like Heather Harper and Thomas Allen. Under Ledger, the King's choir take on a bright, slightly hard edged tone. Ledger's empahsis on intonation, ensemble and especially diction means they are always relaible performers on any recording, and they do themselves proud on these recordings. The choir is lively, exciting and sensitive. The orchestras and soloists also give strong account of themselves. This collection contains three splendid example of Handel's choral music - Saul, Alexander's Feast and The Choice of Hercules. All three are marvellous in their way, and are full of joy and sorrow.
The oratorio of "Saul" (HWV 53) is a dramatic oratorio in three acts written by Handel in 1738 with a libretto by Charles Jennens. Taken from the First Book of Samuel, the story of Saul focuses on the first king of Israel's relationship with his eventual successor, David; one which turns from admiration to envy and hatred, ultimately leading to the downfall of the eponymous monarch. The story closely follows the Biblical narrative of the relations between David and Saul. The overture is the longest of all the Handel introductions. It is in four movements, the first an Allegro, the second a Largo, in which the organ is used as a solo instrument, the third an Allegro, and the fourth a Minuetto. It is an exceedingly graceful and delicate prelude, and makes a fitting introduction to the dramatic story which follows. The characters introduced are Saul, King of Israel; Jonathan, his son; Abner, captain of the host; David; the apparition of Samuel; Doeg, a messenger; an Amalekite; Abiathar, Merab, and Michal, daughters of Saul; the Witch of Endor; and the Israelites. It includes the famous "Dead March", a funeral anthem for Saul and his son Jonathan, and some of the composer's most dramatic choral pieces. Saul was first performed at the King's Theatre in London on January 16, 1739. The work was a success at its London premiere and was revived by Handel in subsequent seasons.
[spoiler="Alexander's Feast (HWV 75)"]
Alexander's Feast (HWV 75) is an ode with music by George Frideric Handel set to a libretto by Newburgh Hamilton. Hamilton adapted his libretto from John Dryden's ode Alexander's Feast, or the Power of Music (1697) which had been written to celebrate Saint Cecilia's Day. Jeremiah Clarke (whose score is now lost) set the original ode to music. Handel composed the music in January 1736, and the work received its premiere at the Covent Garden Theatre, London, on 19 February 1736. In its original form it contained three concertos: a concerto in B flat major in 3 movements for "Harp, Lute, Lyrichord and other Instruments" HWV 294 for performance after the recitative Timotheus, plac'd on high in Part I; a concerto grosso in C major in 4 movements for oboes, bassoon and strings, now known as the "Concerto in Alexander's Feast" HWV 318, performed between Parts I and II; and an organ concerto HWV 289 in G minor and major in 4 movements for chamber organ, oboes, bassoon and strings performed after the chorus Let old Timotheus yield the prize in Part II. The organ concerto and harp concerto were published in 1738 by John Walsh as the first and last of the Handel organ concertos Op.4. Handel revised the music for performances in 1739, 1742 and 1751. Donald Burrows has discussed Handel's revisions to the score. The work describes a banquet held by Alexander the Great and his mistress Tha
