“Almira”, Handel’s first opera, was well received when premiered in 1705 at the Theater am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg. The director was Reinhard Keiser, who, remarkably, had himself already set Friedrich Christian Feustking’s text to music. The role of Fernando was sung by Johann Mattheson. The translation used by Handel leaves several Italian arias in their original language, resulting in a delightful mixture of German and Italian.The opera which, after sundry entangled romances, ends in the wedding of three couples, is characterised by exuberant scenes: the procession at Almira’s crowning ceremony, a duel, a prison scene and a masked-ball involving the three continents Europe, Africa and Asia. The vocal score to “Almira” by George Frideric Handel brings about a small sensation: Whilst conducting a reenactment of this work in 1732, Georg Philipp Telemann removed the Aria no. 28 “Ingrato, spietato” from his conducting score. Since then this aria has been deemed lost. Due to necessity only the edited vocal text devoid of any music was presented in the 1994 volume of the “Halle Handel Edition”. Thanks to a recently discovered contemporary manuscript copy from the beginning of the 18th century which was found in the music library of the Mariengymnasium in Jever, this aria has now been made available to performers for the first time in this new vocal score edition. Previous to this the corresponding pages could only be seen as a facsimile in an article of the “Göttinger Händel-Beiträge”.Now the aria can be performed again. Furthermore, with the help of this new source, missing measures in the basso continuo which had initially been completed by the editor of the “Halle Handel Edition” volume, could be reconstructed from the basso continuo part of the Bellante aria “Ich brenne zwar” (no. 71).

Let Me Weep (‘Lascia ch’io pianga’) is an aria from Handel’s opera ‘Rinaldo’. According to reports he composed the music for the complete opera in just 14 days, using many melodies from earlier works. The melody of this wonderful aria is known all over the world and this arrangement by Jacob de Haan retains all the passion of the original. Lascia ch’io pianga (Let Me Weep) is een aria uit de opera Rinaldo. Aaron Hill schreef het scenario, waarna Giacomo Rossi de poëtische teksten schreef. Georg Friedrich Händel voorzag deze later van muziek. Hij zou demuziek in veertien dagen hebben gecomponeerd en veel melodieën uit eerdere werken hebben gebruikt. In 1711 werd Rinaldo voor het eerst uitgevoerd. De melodie van deze prachtige aria is wereldwijd bekend en komt uitstekendtot haar recht in dit arrangement van Jacob de Haan.Let Me Weep - im Original Laschia ch’io pianga - stammt aus der Oper Rinaldo, deren Musik Georg Friedrich Händel angeblich in weniger als vierzehn Tagen geschrieben hat! Er verwendete für diese märchenhafte Oper viele Melodien aus älteren Werken. Die Melodie dieser prächtigen Arie ist weltweit bekannt und beliebt - so ist mit Jacob de Haans hervorragender Bearbeitung für Brass Band ein Publikumserfolg garantiert! Lascia ch’io pianga est un air extrait de Rinaldo, premier opéra londonien de Georg Friedrich Haendel sur un livret de Giacomo Rossi d’après un scénario d’Aaron Hill. Quinze jours de travail suffirent Haendel pour achever la partition. Le résultat est en réalité une vaste adaptation de plusieurs œuvres antérieures. Rinaldo a été créé Londres en 1711. Les décors féeriques et chevaleresques étaient éblouissants pour l’époque, et c’est sans doute pour cela que l’œuvre fut plébiscitée par le public.Dans le merveilleux jardin du palais enchanté d’Armide (l’alliée d’Argante, le rival de Rinaldo), Almirène (la promise de Rinaldo) pleure sa captivité dansson air Lascia ch’io pianga, l’un des plus beaux qu’Haendel ait écrits. Cette sublime mélodie, célèbre dans le monde entier, a été arrangée avec finesse et justesse par Jacob de Haan.

In the brief half-year period from August 14, 1736, to January 27, 1737, Georg Friedrich Handel achieved an unprecedented level of productivity in his opera compositions, creating three operas. Additionally, in March 1737, he also composed a largely new oratorio titled ??Il trionfo del Tempo e della Verità? (??The Triumph of Time and Truth?) HWV 46b. The libretto of this oratorio closely corresponds to that of the oratorio ??La Bellezza ravveduta nel trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno? (??Beauty Reconciled in the Triumph of Time and Enlightenment?) HWV 46a written in 1707. With ??La Bellezza ravveduta?, Handel composed an allegorical and particularly dramatic oratorio right at the beginning of his oratorio compositions. In this work, there is no chorus inclined towards reflection. Not only do the four allegorical figures, Bellezza (Beauty), Piacere (Pleasure), Tempo (Time), and Disinganno (Enlightenment), listen to each other and react to the ideas presented by the others, but this prevailing dramatic principle of dispute is also found in the recitatives.In 1737, when reworking the oratorio material as ??Il trionfo del Tempo e della Verità?, Handel approached the task pragmatically. He needed a new non-dramatic work to fulfill the evening??s program for his audience at the Covent Garden Theatre during the fasting season when theatrical performances were prohibited. Although he had excellent Italian vocal soloists, notorious for their pronunciation in Handel??s English oratorios and who naturally preferred singing in Italian, Handel found a solution. It was evident to Handel that, in response to the ban on performances of his Italian operas during the fasting season of 1737, he should promptly create a new oratorio in the Italian language but following the three-part ??English? oratorio form that he had developed in ??Esther? HWV 50b in 1732. Unlike in Rome in 1707, he had access to a chorus in London in 1737, and the English oratorio, with its substantial choral sections, a preference for concert-like rather than dramatic composition, and frequent inclusion of organ concertos loosely related to the narrative, was already established.The new volume of the HHA includes the original version of the 1737 premiere as well as all the surviving early and later versions (the latter being exceptional highlights) of individual musical pieces from ??Il trionfo del Tempo e della Verità?.

Handel??s ??Semele?, which premiered in February 1744, is based on an adapted version of William Congreve??s opera libretto titled ??The Story of Semele?, originally published in 1706. However, neither Handel nor his librettist referred to ??Semele? as an opera or an oratorio, which, according to the understanding at the time, would have required a biblical and/or Christian subject matter. Contemporary audiences also disagreed on the genre. The problematic classification as an oratorio has persisted into the present day, likely due to the edition labeled as such by Chrysander. The ??Halle Handel Edition? (HHA) distances itself from this classification and, considering the available sources, refrains from assigning a genre label.Congreve deviates from the mythological source multiple times in order to create tensions among the characters. The desired marriage between Semele and Athamas, whom she does not love, is an addition by Congreve to provoke the envy of her sister Ino, who desires Athamas herself. Therefore, Ino sees her own advantage in Semele??s abduction by Jupiter. While Jupiter??s wife Juno decides to destroy Semele out of jealousy for his relationship with her, Jupiter brings Ino to his palace to console Semele. The vengeful Juno takes advantage of Ino??s presence and transforms into her likeness, persuading Semele to carry out a plan that later proves fatal. In the end, Ino emerges as the winner, as she is able to convince their father, Cadmus, to marry her to Athamas. The appearance of Apollo in the final scene to announce that Semele??s immortal son Bacchus was saved from her ashes provides little consolation. However, this twist allows the drama to conclude with exuberant joy and a magnificent final chorus after the tragic scenes in the third act, culminating in the death of the protagonist.Handel??s autograph score shows significant deviations from and numerous revisions of the original version premiered. All surviving early versions, the musical movements deleted before the premiere, and the version of the December 1744, are given in the appendix to the HHA.

In his libretto for “ Riccardo primo”, Paolo Rolli drew on Antonio Lotti’s opera “ Isacio tiranno ” which had been performed in Venice in 1710. Handel needed a text with two great women’s roles, for the two best female singers of the day were members of his troupe – Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni . He had already written the operas “Alessandro” and “ Admeto ” for them. He began composing “ Riccardo ” in spring 1727, completing the first version on 16 May. However, following the death of King George I on 11 June 1727, the theatres remained closed. For Handel, who had become a British citizen in February 1727, the accession of George II to the throne offered new possibilities, and he embarked on a revision of the opera. With this, he was able to offer a new opera for the coronation festivities, the hero of which was one of King George’s charismatic forebears. From May onwards, Handel thoroughly revised the present score, wrote some parts anew and expanded it with particularly splendid music. Handel and Rolli also improved the plot and introduced patriotic elements to honour the British monarchy. The historic background is the third crusade against Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria , who had recaptured Jerusalem in 1187. Although King Richard I captured Cyprus and together with French crusaders stormed the fortress of Akko in the Holy Land, the crusade ended with a ceasefire and Jerusalem remained in Saladin’s hands. Richard was given the title ‘Coeur-de-lion‹’ by the English for his great military ability and bravery, although the Sicilians had first given him this name because of his relentless cruelty in clashes around Messina . The vocal score is based on the Halle Handel Edition volume published in 2005, edited by Terence Best, and contains the second version of the opera which was premiered in November 1727.
