Han
del's Utrecht Jubilate
HWV 279 enthralled London
audiences right from its
first performance, and it
continues to do so today
in concert halls and
churches all over the
world, thanks to the wide
range of occasions when
it can be performed. It
was performed for the
first time in a festive
service on 7 July 1713 at
St. Paul's Cathedral to
celebrate the Peace
marking the end of the
twelve year-long War of
the Spanish Succession.
The Utrecht Te Deum and
Jubilate were Handel's
first sacred works in
English and important
milestones at the
beginning of his London
career. The edition is
based on Handel's
autograph (which
unfortunately does not
survive) and on a copy
from Handel's circle,
which in some respects
provides more information
than the autograph and
contains important
details for this edition.
In 1717 Handel revised
the Jubilate in a smaller
scoring for the ensemble
at Cannons (HWV 246) and
preceded it with a
two-part Sinfonia which
is also reproduced in the
Appendix to this edition.
The chorus is mainly
scored in four parts, and
is in eight parts in just
one short movement. In
two other movements the
soprano part divides. The
second alto solo part can
also be sung by a high
tenor. Score and parts
available separately -

Esp
ecially due to the early
date of its composition,
from the pen of the just
turned 22-year-old Johann
Sebastian Bach, the
cantata The Lord careth
for us BWV 196 has its
charm, and through its
conciseness, as well as
its simple scoring, it is
quite accessible for
performance by ensembles
with only modest means.
The cantata was composed
on the occasion of a
wedding in the 1797/08,
the details of which
cannot be exactly
ascertained. The text of
the libretto contains no
freely written poetry,
rather is drawn solely
from the Bible (Psalm
115:12-13), there are no
recitatives, and the
arias are kept very
short. The scoring is
also of modest
propoportions: In addtion
to the solo voices
soprano, tenor and bass,
as well as a four-voice
choir, only strings and
basso continuo are
requried. The cantata
begins, as is typical
early Bach cantatas, with
a short instrumental
sinfonia and ends, not
with a chorale, but with
a choral movement. Score

Preface: Pacholke,
Michael.
In the
brief half-year period
from August 14, 1736, to
January 27, 1737, Georg
Friedrich Handel achieved
an unprecedented level of
productivity in his opera
compositions, creating
three operas.
Additionally, in March
1737, he also composed a
largely new oratorio
titled â??Il trionfo del
Tempo e della
Verità â? (â??The
Triumph of Time and
Truthâ?) HWV 46b. The
libretto of this oratorio
closely corresponds to
that of the oratorio
â??La Bellezza ravveduta
nel trionfo del Tempo e
del Disingannoâ?
(â??Beauty Reconciled in
the Triumph of Time and
Enlightenmentâ?) HWV
46a written in 1707. With
â??La Bellezza
ravvedutaâ?, Handel
composed an allegorical
and particularly dramatic
oratorio right at the
beginning of his oratorio
compositions. In this
work, there is no chorus
inclined towards
reflection. Not only do
the four allegorical
figures, Bellezza
(Beauty), Piacere
(Pleasure), Tempo (Time),
and Disinganno
(Enlightenment), listen
to each other and react
to the ideas presented by
the others, but this
prevailing dramatic
principle of dispute is
also found in the
recitatives.
In
1737, when reworking the
oratorio material as
â??Il trionfo del Tempo
e della Verità â?,
Handel approached the
task pragmatically. He
needed a new non-dramatic
work to fulfill the
eveningâ??s program for
his audience at the
Covent Garden Theatre
during the fasting season
when theatrical
performances were
prohibited. Although he
had excellent Italian
vocal soloists, notorious
for their pronunciation
in Handelâ??s English
oratorios and who
naturally preferred
singing in Italian,
Handel found a solution.
It was evident to Handel
that, in response to the
ban on performances of
his Italian operas during
the fasting season of
1737, he should promptly
create a new oratorio in
the Italian language but
following the three-part
â??Englishâ? oratorio
form that he had
developed in
â??Estherâ? HWV 50b
in 1732. Unlike in Rome
in 1707, he had access to
a chorus in London in
1737, and the English
oratorio, with its
substantial choral
sections, a preference
for concert-like rather
than dramatic
composition, and frequent
inclusion of organ
concertos loosely related
to the narrative, was
already
established.
The
new volume of the HHA
includes the original
version of the 1737
premiere as well as all
the surviving early and
later versions (the
latter being exceptional
highlights) of individual
musical pieces from
â??Il trionfo del Tempo
e della
Verità â?.

Schubertâ??
s Mass in E-flat major is
the last of his six
settings of the
Ordinarium Missae (Mass
ordinary) and also his
most important work in
this genre. The mass is
full of color and drama,
infused with the spirit
of confession. For many
choirs, it is on the wish
list of those works they
would like to sing
someday. But what happens
if you donâ??t have
enough singers, money is
tight, and your venue is
on the small side?
Here the experienced
arranger and orchestral
musician Joachim
Linckelmann has a great
solution. His version for
soloists, choir and

requires only 7 winds
rather than the original
13. The string parts,
while identical to the
original, can now also be

Handel's
Utrecht Te Deum HWV 278
enthralled London
audiences right from its
first performance, and it
continues to do so today
in concert halls and
churches all over the
world. It was performed
for the first time in a
festive service on 13
July 1713 in St. Paul's
Cathedral to celebrate
the Peace marking the end
of the twelve year-long
War of the Spanish
Succession in 1713. The
Te Deum was the first
commission by the English
royal house and was also
Handel's first sacred
work in the English
language. For Handel the
Utrecht Te Deum was an
important milestone at
the beginning of his
London career. The
composition brought him
an annual pension from
Queen Anne and helped him
to establish himself as a
composer of prestigious
music for the English
royal family. Four
further settings of the
Ambrosian hymn of praise
by Handel followed,
including the equally
popular Dettingen Te Deum
(Carus 55.238). The six
soloists required can in
practice be reduced to
four, and the Te Deum
does not contain any
stand-alone arias. The
chorus is scored in five
parts in a few movements
(SSATB), with the
concluding doxology
beginning in double-choir
scoring (SST/AATB). For
this frequently-performed
work Carus offers a
musical text reflecting
the latest scholarly
discoveries. The Critical
Report contains
information on all the
important facts about the
work in a practicable,
compact form. A detailed
foreword contains
insights into the
creation of the work and
its reception. The vocal
score, chorus score, and
orchestral parts provide
for the needs of
practical performance;

Cantata
BWV 127 belongs to the
cycle of chorale cantatas
which Bach performed in
1724/25 in Leipzig. It
bears close links to the
St John Passion, which
was performed on Good
Friday 1725 in its second
version. In formal terms
and in the interpretation
of the text and its
orchestration, it is one
of the most astonishing
vocal works by Bach. The
opening chorus, with its
multi-layered
construction, is nothing
less than a preliminary
version for the chorale
fantasia O Mensch bewein
dein Sunde gross. The
aria Die Seele ruht in
Jesu Handen is
distinguished by its
exquisite scoring: a solo
oboe and the soprano form
a duet, whilst the
background comprises
delicate chords on
recorders and continuo,
intended to symbolize
funeral bells. A solo
trumpet gives the
following movement
particular brilliance.
The words Ich breche mit
starker und helfender
Hand unmistakably
anticipate the chorus
Sind Blitze, sind Donner

Handel
composed Samson directly
after completing the
Messiah. After its
premiere in 1743 in the
Covent Garden Theatre in
London, the work rapidly
became one of the
composerâ??s most
successful oratorios
alongside Esther and
Judas Maccabaeus. This
probably had as much to
do with the popular Old
Testament story of the
libretto as with
Handelâ??s masterly
shaping of the arias and
choruses.
By
including some movements
in the appendix, this
edition makes it possible
for the first time to
perform the work in its
original 1741 version.
The edition is based
on the complete edition
volume of the Halle

offering the complete
music text of the
oratorio for the first

The
“Occasional
Oratorio†was
composed as a reaction to
a political event which
shook the whole of
England : the Jacobite
rebellion of 1745-46
against the Hanoverian
monarchy was crushed
under the leadership of
the Duke of Cumberland.
Handel, who was working
on the oratorio “
Judas Maccabaeusâ€
at the time, composed the
oratorio quickly and
reused some movements
from earlier works. With
the choice of a libretto
by Newburgh Hamilton he
demonstrated his support
for the monarchy. The
work was first performed
on 14 February 1746 at
the Covent Garden Theatre
in London .
For
the first time this
seldomly performed
oratorio which
nevertheless contains
wonderful music is
available in an Urtext
edition based on the
“ Halle Handel
Edition†. All
available sources have
been consulted. Further
movements which Handel
added for later
performances are included
in the appendix.

Jennens,

George
Frideric Handel is
considered England's
first and foremost
composer of oratorios.
Above all, the Messiah is
regarded as the epitome
of sacred music and in
German-speaking countries
it is also one of the
most often performed
works in the genre. The
version of the Messiah
which is most often
performed today is a
combination of various
versions. Consequently,
the present critical
edition by Ton Koopman
contains all the
surviving alternative
versions of the solo
movements. A concordance
makes it possible to
assign these movements to
those various
performances of the work
conducted by Handel
between the Dublin
premiere in 1742 and the
London concerts which
took place up to 1759. In
accordance with the
wishes voiced by many
choral conductors and
singers, the vocal score
is available in separate
English and German
versions. Score available
separately - see item
