HÄNDEL, G.F., ACIS GALATEA , Secular Oratorio (HWV 49), Two Acts; Concerti Grossi: Larghetto of Op. 6, Nr. 6 and Largo, Op. 6, Nr.7 • Reorchestrated By MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus, K.566, 1788 • Text (German) translated to the original (?) by Gottfried van Swieten • Performed in (approximately) November 1788 in Jahn's Hall. • (in deutscher Sprache / sung in German) • ACIS GALATEA (Secular Oratorio; Masque; Pastoral or Serenata, in different editions), composed for the Duke of Chandos by HÄNDEL (1685-1759), was first privately performed at the Duke's Palace either in 1720 or 1721. Performed at the Canons about 1720 (English play), was revised in 1732 for performance at King's Theatre, Haymarket, and again in 1733 for the Oxford Act (mostly sung in Italian). • In 1788, MOZART'S (1756-1791) friend and patron, Baron Gottfried Freiherr van Swieten (1733-1803), commissioned the Composer to update in the mature Classical Style Handel's charming Lyric Theatrical entertainment. Van Swieten translated the original English libretto into German. Mozart clearly took great pains in modernizing the 1718 Acis Galatea reorchestrating and conducting the Oratorio from the keyboard with musicians from the Gesellschaft der Associierten, was performed in (approximately) November, 1788 in Jahn's Hall, Vienna. • Handel's Music ends up sounding incredibly Mozartian, as if the two styles, baroque and classical, fit hand-in-glove. • Performers: • Barbara Bonney, soprano (Galathea) • Jamie MacDougall, tenor (Acis) • Markus Schafer, tenor (Damon) • John Tomlinson, bass-baritone (Polyphem) • The English Concert Choir • Direction: Trevor Pinnock • (on period instruments) • ACIS GALATEA, HWV 49 • Arrangement Mozart as ACIS UND GALATHEA, K 566, (1788) • AKT II • 00:02, I.CHOR • Coro: Arme Hirten! • 04:47, II.
