It lends its name to a region outside of the city of Kitchener, Ontario, where an annual Aradia Ensemble • Kevin Mallon Baroque Festival has taken place since 2002. Each summer in the small village of Ayr, Ontario, a series of concerts brings the rich heritage and diversity of the Baroque repertoire to audiences in the region. (Ayr’s other international claim to fame is as a location for the Kate Hudson / Matthew McConaughey movie “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”). The Grand River Baroque Festival plays host to Baroque musicians of international stature as well as promising young talents. It began as an informal event, the brainchild of oboist James Mason and violinist Julie Baumgartel, the Festival’s founder directors. It was their vision to bring Baroque music to the beautiful Ontario countryside with performances taking place in a barn, which unlikely as it sounds has beautiful acoustics. Under the direction of “Jim and Julie”, the festival grew in size and stature, with notable performances of Bach’s B minor Mass and St Matthew Passion under their direction. Concerts recorded by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation have been a feature of the festival. In 2006, Kevin Mallon was appointed Artistic Director of the Festival with the Aradia Ensemble acting as orchestra in residence. Under his guidance the festival continues to flourish, with creative programming and audience development. A Mozart celebration was one of the highlights of 2006 as well as a performance by Aradia of Handel’s Water Music (in part a celebration of their award winning Naxos recording: Naxos 8.557764). A large variety of styles from chamber music to choral, to contemporary music written for baroque instruments has been a feature of the concert program in the last few years. One notable concert in the 2007 Grand River Baroque Festival was of Handel’s Israel in Egypt – the start of larger project of performances leading to the present recording of the work. The Aradia Ensemble is grateful to the Grand River Baroque Festival for its financial support of this recording. 8.570966-67 12 570966-67bk Handel US 18/3/08 18:14 Page 2 George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) Kevin Mallon Israel in Egypt The Irish musician Kevin Mallon, now resident in Canada, is quickly developing a world- CD 1 wide reputation.

The Sixteen To find out more about CORO and to buy CDs visit HARRY CHRISTOPHERS www.thesixteen.com cor16180 He is quite simply the master of chorus and on this compilation there is much rejoicing. Right from the outset, a chorus of Philistines revel in Awake the trumpet’s lofty sound to celebrate Dagon’s festival in Samson; the Israelites triumph in their victory over Goliath with great pageantry in How excellent Thy name from Saul and we can all feel the exuberance of I will sing unto the Lord from Israel in Egypt. There are, of course, two Handel oratorios where the choruses dominate – Messiah and Israel in Egypt – and we have given you a taster of pure majesty in the Amen chorus from Messiah as well as the Photograph: Marco Borggreve Marco Photograph: dramatic ferocity of He smote all the first-born of Egypt from Israel in Egypt. Handel is all about drama; even though he forsook opera for oratorio, his innate sense of the theatrical did not leave him. Just listen to the poignancy of the opening of Act 2 from Acis and Galatea where the chorus pronounce the gloomy prospect of the lovers and the impending appearance of the monster Polyphemus; and the torment which the Israelites create in O God, behold our sore distress when Jephtha commands them to “invoke the holy name of Israel’s God”– it’s surely one of his greatest fugal choruses.

  • CHORAL PROBLEMS in HANDEL's MESSIAH THESIS Presented to The
    *141 CHORAL PROBLEMS IN HANDEL'S MESSIAH THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By John J. Williams, B. M. Ed. Denton, Texas May, 1968 PREFACE Music of the Baroque era can be best perceived through a detailed study of the elements with which it is constructed. Through the analysis of melodic characteristics, rhythmic characteristics, harmonic characteristics, textural charac- teristics, and formal characteristics, many choral problems related directly to performance practices in the Baroque era may be solved. It certainly cannot be denied that there is a wealth of information written about Handel's Messiah and that readers glancing at this subject might ask, "What is there new to say about Messiah?" or possibly, "I've conducted Messiah so many times that there is absolutely nothing I don't know about it." Familiarity with the work is not sufficient to produce a performance, for when it is executed in this fashion, it becomes merely a convention rather than a carefully pre- pared piece of music. Although the oratorio has retained its popularity for over a hundred years, it is rarely heard as Handel himself performed it. Several editions of the score exist, with changes made by the composer to suit individual soloists or performance conditions. iii The edition chosen for analysis in this study is the one which Handel directed at the Foundling Hospital in London on May 15, 1754. It is version number four of the vocal score published in 1959 by Novello and Company, Limited, London, as edited by Watkins Shaw, based on sets of parts belonging to the Thomas Coram Foundation (The Foundling Hospital).

  • Handel Israel in Egypt
    Israel in Egypt George Frideric Handel By: Michael C. Lister Israel in Egypt occupies a singular place in the history of Handel’s oratorios. While unique in concept and composition, this work has several characteristics in common with Handel’s most well known oratorio, Messiah, composed three years later. While there is no known librettist attributed to the oratorio, it is interesting to note that Handel had collaborated with librettist Charles Jennens on Saul just prior to beginning work on Israel in Egypt and would return to Jennens to shape the text for his next oratorio, Messiah. It is possible that Jennens influenced Handel’s choice to deviate from the dramatic libretto to a scripture-based libretto that makes no use of a conventional cast of soloists who portray key characters in a series of dramatic events, but rather allows the drama to unfold in a narrative form. The themes of Israel in Egypt continued to resonate in Messiah as well, with the people of God seeking (and receiving) physical deliverance in the former and spiritual deliverance in the latter. Unlike any other of Handel’s compositions, Israel in Egypt relies on choruses rather than solo arias to describe events and conditions surrounding the exodus of the children of Israel from the land of the Pharaohs. Israel in Egypt features the chorus more than any other of Handel’s oratorios, and uniquely employs a significant number of double choruses throughout the work. The expanded role of the chorus, the virtual absence of solo arias, and the unconventional libretto has led scholars to believe that Handel originally envisioned Israel in Egypt to be a series of anthems, similar to his Coronation Anthems, an idea encouraged by the composer’s choice to rework music from his Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline from 1737.
