Handel - As Steals The Morn - Rosa Mannion and John Mark Ainsley

George Frideric Handel 'As Steals the Morn'
from L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato (HWV 55), 1740
Rosa Mannion, soprano
John Mark Ainsley, tenor
Harry Bicket, conductor
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
As steals the morn upon the night,
And melts the shades away:
So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve,
And rising Reason puts to flight
The fumes that did the mind involve,
Restoring intellectual day.
