Johann Vierdanck (1605-1646) was a choirboy in Dresden and a pupil of Heinrich Schütz. After short stays in Lübeck and Copenhagen he became an organist at St Mary's in Stralsund. His 1641 collection of 45 „sacred concerts“ appeared in several editions reflecting its popularity among his contemporaries. All the settings are based on Luther's translation of the Bible and are related stylistically to Heinrich Schütz's „Symphoniae sacrae“ (1629) and “Kleine geistliche Konzerte” (1636). The three psalm settings in this volume are ideally suited for small choirs or solo voices in church or concert performance.

Saul was given its first performance under Handel’s direction at the Haymarket Theatre, London, on 16 January 1739. The original libretto (dated 1738) refers to the work as “an Oratorio or Sacred Drama”. This libretto was written by Charles Jennens (1700–1770), a wealthy amateur writer from Gopsall, Leicestershire. A letter of 28 July 1735 from Handel to Jennens suggests that a complete raft of the text already existed at that time.

Saul occupies an extraordinarily important position in the English oratorio tradition that Handel brought to perfection, standing alongside Israel in Egypt at the end of the first creative period of such works.

The first piece “Sicut ros Hermon” (Psalm 133) meditates on the path God’s mercy takes, whereby the initial slow descending harmonic sequences develop into an emphatic song followed by a tender chorale-like coda.

“Si sumpsero pennas aurorae” (Psalm 139) relates to a highly poetic, consolatory but also admonishing image of the psalm: As far as our wings may carry us, God’s hand will take hold of us. We cannot escape his mercy or his judgement. At the end of this striking movement the music conveys almost haptic moments; one can sense the mighty ‘hand’ by means of the tutti sound. Finally the music becomes as calm as at the start of this piece, though dialogue-like figurations convey repercussions of what was experienced and acknowledged.
