Handel's Messiah featuring the Bob Jones University combined choirs and orchestra Warren Cook, Conductor Laura Brundage . Soprano Marianne Freeman . Mezzo-Soprano Jason Rush . Tenor David Parker . Bass Foreword And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen of angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory. I Timothy 3:16 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:3 These verses, selected by Jennens, the librettist, formed a preface to the word-book of the first performance in April 1742 at Dublin. Handel says he will do nothing next winter, but I hope I shall persuade him to set another Scripture collection I have made for him, perform it for his own benefit in Passion week. I hope he will lay out his whole genius and skill upon it, that the composition may excel all his former compositions, as the Subject excels every other subject. The Subject is Messiah . Charles Jennens, librettist to Edward Holdsworth, 10 July 1741 Production Staff Darren Lawson . Producer Rod McCarty . Production Manager Bob Johansen .

  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

  • The Monteverdi Project"
    From the Director Good Evening All, I am overjoyed to be writing my first director's note for UNI Opera! Welcome to "The Monteverdi Project". Tonight we feature several students from the School of Music in three short pieces by Claudio Monteverdi. It was a joy to work with these artists and help them interpret these works through a modern lens. It is thrilling to produce an evening of music that is as striking today as it was when it was written almost four HUNDRED years ago (Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda premiered in 1624!). Please join me in recognizing the bravery and discipline these students have that allowed this evening to come to fruition. Despite a worldwide pandemic, these artists opened their hearts and allowed us to all be together again, even if only just for a little while.
