Oratorios: Acis and Galatea, L'Allegro, il Pensieroso ed il Moderato, Messiah, Israel in Egypt, Saul
happy in that it's almost done, sad in that we have to endure 6 oratorios...I have sung Messiah and have heard Saul. I hear L'Allegro is fairly significant, though I cannot remember why.
ReplyDeleteSt. Matthew's Passion about sunk Carra the other night. We have had to mix in some lighter, less choral things. Not sure she's gonna tolerate the Handel:)
