PERFORMING

George Friedrich Händel, Israel in Egypt, HWV 54

First performed in 1739 in London, Israel in Egypt was shocking to early listeners. Audiences were not accustomed to hearing such highly dramatic performances of Biblical texts. Handel revised and revived the work in 1756, and this is the form in which it still is sung. Part I is based on Exodus and tells the exciting story of Moses, the seven plagues, the Passover and the parting of the Red Sea. Part II sets Moses’ song of praise for the Israelites’ deliverance to music. Join CSUF's University Singers and Los Angeles-based Horizon Chamber Orchestra for this spellbinding performance of one of the masterworks of the Baroque Era.
