Three short choral numbers are recycled from an earlier Italian opera. “Surely he hath borne our griefs” sets the table. “With these stripes we are healed” is developed as a fugue. The third sounds suspiciously like, “Oh we like sheep,” which is not what Handel wrote! (Isaiah)

The next two linked numbers start with a recitative for tenor, “All they that see laugh him to scorn”. Note how Handel word paints the sounds of scourging, laughing and the shaking of heads. This leads into a mob chorus, “He trusted in God”, a crowd scene developed as a fugue. (Psalm 22)

The next two numbers are a recitative for tenor, “Thy rebuke has broken his heart”, and a tenor aria, “Behold, and see if there be any sorrow”. (Psalm 69 & Lamentations)

Surely he hath borne our griefs & With these stripes we are healed & And we like sheep have gone astray & All they that see him laugh him to scorn & He trusted in God & Thy rebuke has broken his heart & Behold, and see if there be any sorrow

We have snow/sleet. I think it’s stopped now, but there were
lots of accidents happening earlier. We’re not used to this. LOL!

Must retire – an early call tomorrow – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Two numbers are joined: a recitative for soprano, “He was cut off from the land of the living”, and a soprano aria, “But thou didst not leave his soul in hell”. (Isaiah & Psalm 16)

They lead into a chorus, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates”. Watch the buildup of the chord progression and its gentle unraveling from 4:12 to 6:38. It’s magical. (Psalm 24)

Now comes a recitative for tenor, “Unto which of the angels said he at any time”, followed by a chorus in the form of a fugue, “Let all the angels of God worship him”. (Hebrews)

The aria, “Thou art gone up on high”, was moved from bass to contralto in the years between 1741 and 1754, but Handel finally settled on handing it to the soprano. (Psalm 68)

The following chorus shows off Handel’s gift for word painting. Note the single notes for “The Lord gave the word” and the busy notation for “Great was the company of the preachers”, as if the preachers had entirely too much to say. (Psalm 68)

”How beautiful are the feet” is an aria that went through a number of changes between 1741 and 1754, but Handel finally settled on handing it to the soprano. (Romans)

He was cut off out of the land of the living & But thou didst not leave his soul in hell & Lift up your heads, O ye gates & Unto which of the angels said he at any time & Let all the angels of God worship him & Thou art gone up on high & The Lord gave the word & How beautiful are the feet
