    AO.J THE SOPRANO ROLE IN HANDEL'S OPERAS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC by Ida Elizabeth Weir, B. S. E. Little Rock, Arkansas January, 195+ PREFACE The purpose of this study is to give some insight into the soprano role in Hgndel's operas in comparison to the other roles. Although Handel has won wide acclaim due to his oratorios, little recognition has been given to him today through his operas. From a total of forty operas written, thirty-eight have been published and will be considered in this thesis. There is a complete analysis of each soprano role, but only a few outstanding arias are discussed in detail. The study of the soprano role is preceded by a chapter on Handel's career, styles,and his operas today. At the close of Chapter II there are: a list of the operas in chronological order (Appendix I); a list of the operas in alphabetical order (Appendix II); a list of the soprano arias, recitatives and duets in alphabetical order according to each opera with corresponding role, range, volume and page number in the Chrysander Edition (HCE) (Appendix III), and a list of soprano arias, duets and recitatives in alphabetical order with corresponding opera and location (Appendix IV). A bib- liography of the available literature in books and music will be found at the end. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . i1i Chapter I.
