George Frideric Handel - Alexander's Feast & Ode For St- Cecilia's Day {2x Hybrid-SACDs // EAC Rip}


In England wurde im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert der 22. November als Cäcilientag mit festlichen musikalischen Aufführungen zu Ehren der Schutzheiligen der Kirchenmusik begangen. Auch Händel lieferte mit Alexander’s Feast und der Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day in den Jahren 1736 und 1739 zwei bedeutende Beiträge auf Texte des Dichters John Dryden. Händel nahm sich hier zwar Purcells Cäcilienoden zum Vorbild, doch näherte er sie durch den Einsatz von Rezitativen, Arien und groß angelegten Chören dem Oratorium an. Beide wurden von den Zeitgenossen schnell als überragende Werke des Komponisten erkannt und bereits 1739 kombinierte Händel die beiden Stücke miteinander, wobei die Cäcilienode als dritter Teil von Alexander’s Feast fungierte. In der Folgezeit noch häufig beibehalten, geriet diese sinnvolle Aufführungspraxis doch ab dem späten 19. Jahrhundert mehr und mehr in Vergessenheit. Carus führt diese Werke nun in der vorliegenden Aufnahme mit Simone Kermes, dem Kölner Kammerchor und dem Collegium Cartusianum unter Peter Neumann wieder zusammen. Carus-verlag

Alexander's Feast (HWV 75) is an ode with music by George Frideric Handel set to a libretto by Newburgh Hamilton. Hamilton adapted his libretto from John Dryden's ode Alexander's Feast, or the Power of Music (1697) which had been written to celebrate Saint Cecilia's Day. Jeremiah Clarke (whose score is now lost) set the original ode to music.

Handel composed the music in January 1736, and the work received its premiere at the Covent Garden Theatre, London, on 19 February 1736. In its original form it contained three concertos: a concerto in B flat major in 3 movements for "Harp, Lute, Lyrichord and other Instruments" HWV 294 for performance after the recitative Timotheus, plac'd on high in Part I; a concerto grosso in C major in 4 movements for oboes, bassoon and strings, now known as the "Concerto in Alexander's Feast" HWV 318, performed between Parts I and II; and an organ concerto HWV 289 in G minor and major in 4 movements for chamber organ, oboes, bassoon and strings performed after the chorus Let old Timotheus yield the prize in Part II. The organ concerto and harp concerto were published in 1738 by John Walsh as the first and last of the Handel organ concertos Op.4. Handel revised the music for performances in 1739, 1742 and 1751. Donald Burrows has discussed Handel's revisions to the score.[1][2]

The work describes a banquet held by Alexander the Great and his mistress Thaïs in the captured Persian city of Persepolis, during which the musician Timotheus sings and plays his lyre, arousing various moods in Alexander until he is finally incited to burn the city down in revenge for his dead Greek soldiers.

The piece was a great success and it encouraged Handel to make the transition from writing Italian operas to English choral works. The soloists at the premiere were the sopranos Anna Maria Strada and Cecilia Young, the tenor John Beard, and a bass called Erard (first name unknown).

Ode for St. Cecilia's Day (HWV 76) is a cantata composed by George Frideric Handel in 1739, his second setting of the poem by the English poet John Dryden. The title of the oratorio refers to Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. The main theme of the text is the Pythagorean theory of harmonia mundi, that music was a central force in the Earth's creation. The premiere was on 22 November 1739 at the Theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.

Ebenezer Prout commented on various facets of Handel's instrumentation in the work. Edmund Bowles has written on Handel's use of timpani in the work. wikipedia
