Handel Weekend in Wardour Chapel, Wiltshire given in 2023 by Cherubim Chamber Choir & Orchestra,
conductor Harry Bradford.
JUDAS MACCABÆUS
See the conq’ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets, beat the drums.
Sports prepare, the laurels bring,
Songs of triumph to him sing.
This oratorio (HWV 63) was composed to a libretto by Morell in 1746 to celebrate ‘butcher’ Cumberland’s triumphant return from defeating the Jacobite uprising at the Battle of Culloden. Coincidentally, the National Anthem first emerged in the same celebrations.
