Thomas Augustine Arne: 'Judith', oratorio
- Scope & Content:
- 'Judith': Oratorio in three acts, for solo voices and chorus, with symphonies and accompaniments for trumpets, horns, flutes, oboes, bassoons, strings, harpsichord and organ, in score, composed by Dr. [Thomas Augustine] Arne. In three volumes. The greater part of it is autograph. A few leaves (ff. 33-41b) in Add MS 11516 are in the hand of Dr. [Samuel] Arnold, who seems to have re-set the scene in which they are interpolated. One or two numbers given in Walsh's edition are omitted here; but on the other hand the recitatives and choruses, left out in the published edition, appear in full. The characters are Judith, Holofernes, Ozias, Abra, and Charmis. Among the singers indicated as taking part in various performances of the work are [Giusto Ferdinando] Tenducci, [Charlotte] Brent, [Mary] Barthelemon, [Joseph] Vernon, [Theresa] Cornelys and [Samuel] Champness. The air 'How chearful along the gay plain' (Add MS 11517, f. 4) is the well-known 'Hymn of Eve,' from the same composer's 'Abel,' 1755, adapted for the present work.
