English. 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.

English, Latin. Psalms
142; Jeremiah 3:48, 52,
56. Invictus: A
Passion addresses one of
the world’s most
powerful stories through
the lens of the modern
world. The texts, written
or inspired by women,
describe not only human
suffering and persecution
but also the human
capacity for love and
humility in the face of
tyranny. Composer Howard
Goodall is uniquely
suited to bring these
texts to life with music
of emotional clarity and
sweeping force. This
excerpt is scored for
soprano solo, SATB choir
and piano. This fourth
movement of the larger
work is inspired by the
extraordinary story of
Irena Sendler née
Krzyżanowska, a Polish
nurse and head of
Żegota, the Polish
Council to Aid Jews in
the Second World War,
whose personal
interventions saved the
lives of approximately
2,500 Jewish children in
the Warsaw Ghetto,
smuggling them to safety,
acts of humanitarian
bravery that eventually
caused her arrest and
torture by the Gestapo.
She is honoured as
Righteous Amongst the
Nations at Yad Vashem,
Jerusalem. The Latin
texts of this movement
are taken from the Book
of Lamentations
(“My eye hath run
down with streams of
water, for the
destruction of the
daughter of my people. My
enemies have chased me
and caught me like a
bird, without
cause…â€) and
from Psalm 142, the Old
Testament being the
meeting-point of
Sendler’s
Catholicism and the
Jewish tradition of those
whose lives she saved.
