Samson: Oratorio, in full score, by George Frideric Handel, in full score.
- Scope & Content:
-
ff. 68, 72, 56. Samson: Oratorio, in full score, by George Frideric Handel. 18th cent. In three volumes. Among the numerous cuts (chiefly of recitatives or airs, or both) apparently indicated by the composer himself (autograph), are those of 'His mighty griefs' (the second part of 'Return, O God of Hosts,' vol. ii, f. 6), 'Let the Cherubic host' (the second part of 'Let the bright seraphim,' vol. iii, f. 48), and the chorus 'To man God's universal Law gave Pow'r ' (vol. ii, f. 33b). Most of the recitatives published in square brackets in the Händel-Gesellschaft's edition of the Oratorio do not appear at all in the present MS, which, however, contains a recitative (vol. iii, p. 33) not printed by that society. The air 'To Song and Dance' (vol. ii, f. 55) and the Dead March are given by the Händel-Gesellschaft in the Appendix, the place of the latter march being supplied here by that 'In ' Saul,' as indicated in pencil in the composer's own hand (vol. iii, f. 37b). The other principal autograph pencil additions by him are (in vol. i) the words 'Largo' (f. 42b), and 'Adagio' (f. 58b); and (in vol. ii) the words, 'Out chorus]' (f. 6), and 'Recit' (f. 26b).
