Tochter Zion, also known as See the Conquering Hero Comes, is the most famous chorus from the oratorio Judas Maccabaeus (1746) by the composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759). The heroic epic based on the Biblical story about commander-in-chief Judas Maccabaeus, was used by Handel to celebrate the English victory over the rebellious Scottish. The first performance of this patriotic work - written in the pleasing, rich baroque style that Handel's music is known for - was conducted by himself; the success was huge. The chorus See the Conquering Hero Comes was added later, in 1748, drawn from another oratorio (Joshua).

Tochter Zion, ook bekend als See the Conquering Hero Comes, is het beroemdste koor uit het oratorium Judas Maccabaeus (1746) van de componist Georg Friedrich Handel (1685-1759). Het op het Bijbelse verhaal overlegeraanvoerder Judas de Maccabeeer gebaseerde heldenepos werd door Handel gebruikt om de overwinning van de Engelsen op de in opstand gekomen Schotten te vieren. De premiere van dit patriottische werk - geschreven in de aangename,rijke barokstijl waar Handels muziek om bekendstaat - werd door hemzelf gedirigeerd, het succes was enorm. In 1748 is het koor See the Conquering Hero Comes toegevoegd, dat afkomstig was uit een ander oratorium (Josua).

Tochter Zion, auch als See the Conquering Hero Comes bekannt, ist der beruhmteste Choral aus dem Oratorium Judas Maccabaeus von Georg Friedrich Handel. Dieses Werk - das im gefalligen, uppig barocken Stil, der fur Handels Musik typisch ist, geschrieben wurde - arrangierte der zeitgenossische niederlandische Komponist Jan de Haan fur Blechblaserquartett und Orgel.

Duration: full evening Text by the composer using a text by Walter Jens Place and time: Chamber of the King Philip V. of Spain, Middle of the 18th Century Characters: Farinelli (Countertenor/alto) - King Philip V. of Spain (baritone) - Nicola Porpora (baritone) - The Kings Personal Physician, also Barber (tenor) - The Kings Confessor, also Impresario and Priest (bass) - Maria (Bellino), later Anna Maria Strada (soprano) - Georg Friedrich Handel (baritone) - Jenny, Jim, John, English Opera Troupe (soprano, tenor, baritone) - The young Carlo Broschi (boy treble) The dramaturgical constellation of the subject forced me to use multifaceted and stylistic means. I have used melodic segments from the Farinelli arias that are still extant today, as well as other Baroque vocal and formal elements, models inspired by the Singspiel and the musical, and even a rap piece over a techno rhythm. The musical center of the opera consists of song and the human voice. Farinelli is a bel canto opera. (Siegfried Matthus) Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli, was the brightest star among the castrato tenors of the 18th century. Handels enemies brought him to London so that he could outshine Handels singers. Here, Matthus depicts Farinelli at the Spanish court, ruled by the pathologically melancholy King Philip V. In a review of his life, we relive important stages in the career of the singer, who lived outside of the norm and found his home in the fascinating twilight world between art and artificiality.

Händel's opera Scipio was written in 1725 and performed the following year in the King's Theatre, London. After Händel's death his operas fell into obscurity until the 1960s, when they experienced a major revival. This famous march from Scipio has however remained popular since its first performance and has been the Regimental Slow March of the British Grenadier Guards since the 18th century. The march is fairly simple and gives young bands the opportunity to play a well-known baroque melody which should be well within their technical ability.
