清唱劇《以斯帖》是第一部英語清唱劇，也是亨德爾根據戲劇悲劇讓-拉辛的《以斯帖》改編的第一部清唱劇。亨德爾首次運用了他在德國、義大利和英國積累的知識。他創造了自己獨特的清唱劇寫作風格，與後來的綜合作品有所不同。這部作品的許多部分都可以追溯到之前創作的《布羅克斯-激情》。首演於 1720 年。1732 年在倫敦首次公演時，亨德爾對 "以斯帖 "進行了改編和擴充。哈勒-亨德爾全集》的Urtext呈現的是1720年的原始版本"

原文簡介:
The oratorio “Esther” is the first English language oratorio and also the first oratorio by Handel based on a theater tragedy; Jean Racine’s “Esther”. For the first time Handel drew on his knowledge gathered from stays in Germany, Italy and England. He created his own particular style of oratorio writing, which differs from the later integrative works. Many sections of this composition harken back to the previously composed, “Brockes-Passion”. The first performance took place in 1720. For the first public performance of the work in London in 1732, Handel arranged and enlarged “Esther”. The Urtext of the Halle Handel Complete Edition presents the original version from 1720.

Reliable vocal score from the Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition
