Description:
An excellent example of Baroque literature in a non-contrapuntal style, the parts in this setting are technically simple, thereby allowing directors ample time to work on concepts of musicality and interpretation during rehearsals. In his score notes, John also explains that in Handel's day this piece was typically played three times - strings alone, winds alone, then strings and winds together - and gives specific suggestions for directors interested in supplementing this edition with wind parts. An optional piano part is provided with each standard string set.
