description Occasional Oratorio Overview
Occasional Oratorio is an English-language oratorio by George Frideric Handel, first performed in 1746. It was written during the Jacobite rising and was associated with the Hanoverian government's military success, while drawing substantially on music Handel had used in earlier works. The piece combines solo arias, choruses, and orchestral movements, and it illustrates how eighteenth-century oratorio could address current political events as well as religious subjects.
