Handel, G F - Ode On St. Cecilias Day

John Dryden wrote two odes in honour of the patroness of music and musicians - A Song For St. Cecilias Day, in 1687, and, in 1697, Alexanders Feast, both of which were subsequently set to music by Handel. A Song For St. Cecilias Day proved so popular that it was performed six times during the winter of 1739-40, in spite of the fact that this was a hard winter.
Written for soprano and tenor soli, SATB chorus and orchestra, this edition contains all vocal parts and a piano accompaniment
