George Frederick Handel: 'Serenata on Queen Ann's Birth Day, 1714'
- Scope & Content:
- 'Serenata on Queen Ann's Birth Day, 1714,' sc. the Birthday Ode performed before the Queen, 6 Feb. 1714. It begins 'Eternal Source of Light Divine,' and is written for solo voices and double chorus, with symphonies and accompaniments for trumpets, oboes, bassoons, and strings, in score, by [George Frederic] 'Handell.' The present MS closely resembles that in Christopher Smith's hand, but in one or two passages follows more nearly the autograph (see the account of the composition in the Händel Gesellschaft's publications, vol. xlvia).
