Works

1 Theodora, oratorio, HWV 68
Composer: Handel, George Frederick
    1. Overture in G minor
    2. 'Tis Dioclesian's natal day
    3. Go my faithful soldier, go
    4. And draw a blessing down on his imperial crown
    5. Vouchsafe, dread Sir, a gracious ear
    6. Racks, gibbets, sword, and fire shall speak
    7. For ever thus stands fix'd the doom
    8. Most cruel edict!
    9. The raptur'd soul defies the sword
    10. I know thy virtues
    11. Descend, kind Pity, heav'nly guest
    12. Though hard, my friends
    13. Fond flatt'ring world, adieu!
    14. O bright example of all goodness!
    15. Bane of virtue, nurse of passions
    16. Come, mighty Father, mightly Lord
    17. Fly, my brethren!
    18. As with rosy steps the morn advancing
    19. All pow'r heaven above, or earth beneath
    20. Mistaken wretches! why thus blind to fate
    21. Dread the fruits of christian folly
    22. Deluded mortal! call it not rebellion
    23. Oh worse than death indeed!
    24. Angels, ever bright and fair
    25. Unhappy, happy crew!
    26. Kind Heav'n if virtue be thy care
    27. Oh love, how great thy pow'r!
    28. Go, gen'rous pious youth
    29. Ye men of Antioch, with solemn pomp
    30. Queen of summer, queen of love
    31. Wide spread his name and make his glory
    32. Return, Septimius
    33. Venus laughing from the skies
    34. Sinfonia in G minor
    35. Oh thou bright sun!
    36. With darkness deep, as is my woe
