Description:
Handel set the myth of the love of the shepherd Acis for the sea nymph Galatea from Ovid's Metamorphoses a total of three times: in the cantata "Aci, Galatea e Polifemo" HWV 72 (1708), the masque "Acis and Galatea" HWV 49a (1718) and finally the pasticcio-like serenata "Acis and Galatea" HWV 49b (1732), the original version of which has been published here in full for the first time.
The bilingualism of the serenata is particularly appealing: some arias and choruses are sung in English and all other numbers in Italian due to Handel's Italian singers being criticized for their poor command of the English language.
The extensive appendix to the vocal score also contains the insert arias and new compositions for the versions of the performances of 1734 and 1736.
