ABOUT
One of his most vibrant and vocally challenging works, Dixit Dominus was completed in April 1707 whilst Handel was living in Italy. It is the earliest surviving Handel autograph and was first performed in the Church of Santa Maria in Montesanto. He reused some of the particularly successful melodies and musical effects in Israel in Egypt (among other works) – you may recognise similarities between Israel in Egypt’s ‘He led them through the deep’ and Dixit’s ‘Tu Es Sacerdos’. Being written in a typically Italianate style, the vocal lines are florid and challenging – making this work stand out in Handel's collection of sacred music.
