Added by magataganm, 31 May 2013 Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne (HWV 74) is a secular cantata composed by George Frideric Handel to a libretto by Ambrose Philips, of which the first line, "Eternal source of light divine", provides an alternative title for the work. It was probably composed during January 1713 for a performance on 6 February 1713 (which did not occur). Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xlviA; and HHA i/6. The cantata celebrates Queen Anne's birthday, and the accomplishment of the Treaty of Utrecht (negotiated by the Tory ministry of Anne in 1712) to end the War of the Spanish Succession. Although originally written for Orchestra, I created this arrangement for Woodwind Quintet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, French Horn and Bassoon). Sheet central : | Eternal Source of Light Divine (6 sheet music) | |
