Handelâ??
s â??Semeleâ?, which
premiered in February
1744, is based on an
adapted version of
William Congreveâ??s
opera libretto titled
â??The Story of
Semeleâ?, originally
published in 1706.
However, neither Handel
nor his librettist
referred to
â??Semeleâ? as an
opera or an oratorio,
which, according to the
understanding at the
time, would have required
a biblical and/or
Christian subject matter.
Contemporary audiences
also disagreed on the
genre. The problematic
classification as an
oratorio has persisted
into the present day,
likely due to the edition
labeled as such by
Chrysander. The â??Halle
Handel Editionâ? (HHA)
distances itself from
this classification and,
considering the available
sources, refrains from
assigning a genre
label.
Congreve
deviates from the
mythological source
multiple times in order
to create tensions among
the characters. The
desired marriage between
Semele and Athamas, whom
she does not love, is an
addition by Congreve to
provoke the envy of her
sister Ino, who desires
Athamas herself.
Therefore, Ino sees her
own advantage in
Semeleâ??s abduction by
Jupiter. While
Jupiterâ??s wife Juno
decides to destroy Semele
out of jealousy for his
relationship with her,
Jupiter brings Ino to his
palace to console Semele.
The vengeful Juno takes
advantage of Inoâ??s
presence and transforms
into her likeness,
persuading Semele to
carry out a plan that
later proves fatal. In
the end, Ino emerges as
the winner, as she is
able to convince their
father, Cadmus, to marry
her to Athamas. The
appearance of Apollo in
the final scene to
announce that Semeleâ??s
immortal son Bacchus was
saved from her ashes
provides little
consolation. However,
this twist allows the
drama to conclude with
exuberant joy and a
magnificent final chorus
after the tragic scenes
in the third act,
culminating in the death
of the
protagonist.
Hande
lâ??s autograph score
shows significant
deviations from and
numerous revisions of the
original version
premiered. All surviving
early versions, the
musical movements deleted
before the premiere, and
the version of the
December 1744, are given
in the appendix to the
HHA.

The
cantata Die Himmel
erzahlen die Ehre Gottes
(The heavens are telling
of God in glory) BWV 76
by Johann Sebastian Bach
was written for the 2nd
Sunday after Trinity,
which fell on 6 June 1723
in the year it was first
performed. This ambitious
two-part work was the
second cantata which Bach
wrote after taking up the
position of Kantor of St.
Thomas's in Leipzig.
Bach's aim was evidently
to demonstrate a
particularly wide range
of musical forms in both
the arias and the
recitatives in this
cantata. The opening
chorus is based on verses
2 and 4 of Psalm 19, with
verse 4 structured as a
choral fugue. Both parts
of the cantata end with a
chorale movement with
different verses from the
Lutheran hymn Es woll uns
Gott genadig sein. The
text refers loosely to
the epistle reading from
the 1st letter of St
John, but deals more with
general thoughts about
the temptations of the
Christian which can be
overcome through love.
Bach also performed the
first part of the cantata
later with minor
revisions, but evidently
no alterations to the
text, on Reformation Day
in Leipzig. Score and
parts available
separately - see item

The cantata Himmelskonig,
sei willkommen BWV 182
holds a special place in
Johann Sebastian Bach's
biography. He had been
employed as organist and
chamber musician at the
court of Weimar since
1708; on 2 March 1714, he
was appointed concert
master of the court, and
his inauguration music
for this occasion was
Himmelskonig, sei
willkommen. The cantata
was first performed on
Palm Sunday of that year,
25 March 1714. Bach
performed this cantata
several times - always
revising and amending it
- both in Weimar and in
Leipzig. Of the
altogether four versions,
the first Leipzig version
has been selected for the
present new edition.
Unlike the Weimar
versions, it can be
realized effectively
using modern performance
means. In his debut
composition of 1714, the
newly appointed concert
master demonstrated his
abilities: the eight
movements contain a
multitude of beautiful
and rewarding challenges
for choir and vocal
soloists alike, and in
addition there is the
unusual attraction of a
virtuoso solo part for
the recorder. Score and
part available separately
