    In 1859 Henry Chorley termed Israel in Egypt "something apart from, alone, above all other works existing in descriptive choral music". To approach this prodigious piece in any other way, or to attempt a strict comparison with Handel's other oratorios, is somewhat fruitless: for this is indeed a work apart, unique in its epic conception and in the dazzling variety of its choral and orchestral writing. Nowhere else except in Dixit Dominus (1707), the tour deforce of his youthful stay in Italy, did Handel make such sustained demands of his choral singers, stretching to the limit their range of dramatic expression, stamina and sheer virtuosity.

      Sex is a mere foreshadow. That is why we are mentioned as the "bride" of Christ.
      Pure joy and pure pleasure. Ultimate purest and concentrated form.
      Plus we will be able to do EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO OUR OWN WILL.
      Fly and teleport and control matter. Whatever you can think of doing you can do in "Heaven".
      The eternal resting place of the Children of Light. "Sons of God".
      And He will be our physical light as well.
      It will be unimaginably good!

    Handel's versatility was exceptional. The variety of choruses in this work is amazing, for example, polyphonic choruses of tradition from northern Germany, double 8-voice choruses, choruses that evoke the old renaissance polyphony, ceremonial and pastoral choruses, among others.

    헨델의 오라도리오가 이렇게나 위대한 곡인줄 몰랐씁니다
    그리고 지금까지의 나의 헨델에 대한 생각이
    일시에 무너져 버렸씁니다 이집트의 이스라엘 사람들은
    정말 감동입니다 풍부한 악상은 성령에 가득차고 아름답씁니다
    그리고 스케일도 큰 악곡입니다
    베토벤의 제9교향곡의 5악장을 연상케도 하는군요
    헨델은 위대한 악성임을 세삼 깨닿게 되어 감사합니다

    Handel's Israel in Egypt is not as well known ( perhaps I should say not performed as often) as his Messiah but certainly deserves to be. What glorious soul stirring harmonies, the music shows the very best human spirit is capable of. Many thanks for this wonderful post.

      I'm thinking this is not Gardiner's intent, but rather the decision to speed up the recording in order to avoid tripping up the censors who might take it down.

    Handel composed Israel in Egypt soon after finishing "Saul" (1738), which is considered by many musicologists as the main Handel Oratorio in all of them, the more complex, the number one. Even is not the first in importance ( there is a subjectivity in this kind of question) Saul certanly is among the 4 or 5 his master Oratorios, - well, I think Handel probably had to work on it more than the usual and there was the problem that he was changing from italian Operas to English Oratorios.
    The british people was not liking very much anymore that kind of opera Handel composed and was not going to the Theater to wacth anymore. Handel was "in transition" in between 2 genres in the time of Saul and I. in Egypt (it s impossible to explain this issue Operas x Oratorios in Handel compostion context very well here, the subject was bit complex and I would needed about 20 lines to that). Anyway, Handel needed 2 large scale work for the 1739 season, so after had composed and ended Saul, he started to compose Israel in Egypt. He finished the last one in 30 days. This is was not some different for him, usually he composed 2 long and complex compositions in a row for the season of the next year, - for a 2 hours and 45 minutes Oratorio ou a 3 hours Italian Opera, 30 days was the average time he needed. Israel in Egypt in fact was even shorter (2 hours long).
    The point is Israel in Egypt was the Handel composition which he took more musical material from ancient himself compositions and from composition by other composers, mainly today unknown italian composers. This was not big deal, even Bach borrow material from other composers, (and I am not talking about the arrangments he made of Vivaldi concertos and other italian (mainly) composers) - that pratice was commom in that time. But Handel sometimes excedeed himself in this practice :)
    I think that all these problems made Handel borrow more musical ideas from other composer than the usual for Israel in Egypt. Anyway, he knew sewing up very well what he borrowed, the Oratorio was not a patchwork, - it is one of my favorite Handel´s Oratorios.
    Israel in Egypt had a lot of modifications after that 1739 concertos, ( in fact, the public didn´t like it, and Israel in Egypt was played just 2 times. Handel changed, so, a lot of things on it. Because that, the Oratorio got without an Overture, the maestros or choose a Handel composition as Overture or it started with a recitativo, something which doens´t happen in any other Handel Oratorio or Opera, as I know.

    This version is very good, but you should know some day the Simon Preston recording of Israel in Egypt (with Ian Patridge, James Bowman, Tom McDonnell, Alan Watt, with the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford - the recording is a bit ancient, it´s from 1976, (well, Gardiner recording is from 1978, so...) but the entire work was remasterized, so there is no problem in the quality of the sound. We find this complete version in RUclips in ruclips.net/video/kjIvEeuYEUk/видео.html and in the Spotify. In Apple Music, here music.apple.com/nz/album/handel-israel-in-egypt/1452615053 The 2 first arias of Preston recording, part II, is a bit operatic for an Oratorio in my opinion, this is the unique problem of this S Preston work , in Oratorio about 80% chorus, 20% arias and duos (some of them start as aria and finish as chorus, as we can hear a lot of times in Messiah, so this 2 arias are not problem. The choral parts in Preston recording had an impressive power and unity, and was recorded.
