One of Handel’s most admired works, Alexander's Feast (or The Power of Music), is a setting of a poem by John Dryden written in honor of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. This festive ode by Handel opens the season in celebratory fashion, featuring both a large orchestra with horns, trumpets, and drums and many solos performed by well-known members of The Chorus of Emmanuel Music.. This opening concert showcases the artistry of the Emmanuel ensemble.
