Athalia HWV 52 -Oratorio in three parts- Oratorio in 3 parts 韓德爾 三聲部神劇 騎熊士版

清唱劇《阿塔利亞》講述了《舊約》中阿塔利亞王后的故事。亨德爾於 1733 年為牛津大學創作了這首清唱劇，並于當年晚些時候在牛津大學授予榮譽學位的慶典上首次演出。這次演出的巨大成功被普遍認為是亨德爾重新對清唱劇形式產生興趣的原因。與往常一樣，亨德爾在首次演出後還繼續創作這部作品。因此，在 1735 年於倫敦上演的版本中，他為義大利歌手卡裡斯蒂尼（Carestini）飾演的喬德加入了義大利語歌詞。他還以管風琴協奏曲結束了這部作品。在 1756 年的演出中，他借鑒了其他作品來創作第三幕"

原文簡介:
The oratorio “ Athalia ” tells the Old Testament story of the Queen Athalia . Handel composed it in 1733 for Oxford University where it was first performed later that year during the celebrations for the awarding of honorary degrees. The great s uccess of this performance is generally regarded as a reason for Handel’s renewed interest in the oratorio form. As was frequently the case, Handel also carried on composing this work after the first performance. Thus, for the version which was performed in London in 1735, he introduced numbers in Italian for the Italian singer Carestini in the role of Joad . He also ended the work with an organ concerto. For the performance in 1756 he drew on other works for the third act.

Conversely, large parts of the music to Athalia form the basis for other works by Handel such as “ Parnasso in festa ” (HWV 73) and the Wedding Anthem (HWV 262).

The piano reduction by Andreas Köhs , based on the Urtext of the “Halle Handel” Edition, includes the main version of 1733 together with an appendix containing the versions of 1735 and 1756 as well as the outline of a planned version of 1743 which was not performed.
