Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) - Judas Maccabaeus (2 CD)

1 (Overture)
2 Mourn, ye afflicted children
3 Well may your sorrows
4 From this dread scene
5 For Sion lamentation make
6 Not vain is all this storm of grief
7 Pious orgies
8 Oh Father, whose Almighty power
9 I feel, feel the Deity within
10 Arm, arm, ye brave / We come, we come, in bright array
11 'Tis well, my friends
12 Call forth thy powers
13 To Heaven's Almighty King we kneel
14 Oh liberty, thou choicest treasure
15 Come, ever-smiling liberty
16 Oh Judas, may these noble views inspire / 'Tis liberty
17 Come, ever- smiling liberty
18 Lead on, lead on
19 So willed my father, now at rest
20 Disdainful of danger
21 Ambition ! If ever honour was thine aim / No unhallowed desire
22 Haste we, my brethren / Hear us, oh Lord
23 Fallen ist the foe
24 Victorious hero / So rapid thy course is
25 Well my we hope our freedom to receive / Sion now her head shall raise / Tune your harps
26 Oh let eternal honours crown his name
27 From mighty kings he took the spoil
28 Hail, hail, Judea, happy land
1 Thanks to my brethren
2 How vain is man, who boasts in fight
3 Oh Judas ! oh my brethren
4 Ah ! wretched Israel / Ah ! wretched Israel
5 Be comforted
6 The Lord worketh wonders
7 My arms ! against this Gorgias will I go / Sound an alarm / We hear
8 Enough ! to Heaven we leave the rest
9 With pious hearts
10 Ye worshippers of God
11 Wise men, flattering. may deceive you
12 Oh ! never, never bow we down
13 Father of Heaven
14 See, see yon flames
15 Oh grant it, Heaven / So shall the lute and harp awake
16 From Capharsalama
17 See, the conquering hero comes / (March)
18 Sing unto God
19 Sweet flow the strains
20 With honour let desert be crowned
21 Peace to my countrymen
22 To our great God
23 Again to earth let gratitude descend
24 Oh lovely peace
25 Rejoice, oh Judah
26 Hallelujah ! Amen
