A signifcant factor in the cool reception was the ongoing squeamishness about singing the sacred to the kind of music more associated with the opera than the church. Opponents particularly objected to Holy Writ being sung in the secular setting of a theatre, but it was thought equally inappropriate to sing oratorios in church. Jennens captured the point in his usual testy fashion: ‘What adds to my Chagrin is, that if he makes his Oratorio ever so perfect, there is a clamour about Town, said to arise from the B[isho]ps, against performing it.’1 Handel leased the Covent Garden theatre for a season of oratorios in Lent 1742/3: Samson, L’Allegro and the Ode on St Cecilia’s Day; then, advertised for 23 March, ‘A New Sacred Oratorio. With a Concerto on the Organ. And a Solo on the Violin by Mr. Dubourg’.2 Jennens reported:
