The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was formed by
Guildford Borough in order to perform the major
choral repertoire with the Guildford Philharmonic
As well
as performing well-known
choral works, the choir specializes in twentieth
century British music and this has led to recordings
of Gerald Finzi’s ‘Intimations of Immortality’ with
the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra and Patrick
Hadley’s ‘The Trees So High’ with the Philharmonia Orchestra, both recordings being conducted
by Vernon Handley.
The choir is conducted by some of the most eminent
British Musicians including Sir Charles Groves
(Principal Conductor), Vernon Handley and Sir
David
Willcocks.

“Israel in Egypt” differs from Handel’s other Old
Testament oratorios in that it is concerned not with
individual people, but with nations. Consequently,
it is on an epic scale where the role of the chorus is
central. The style is similar to that used in the
anthems written for George II’s coronation in 1727.
Handel’s audience would have expected the usual
abundance of extended solo items and objected
when they were so scarce. Hence it was not a
commercial success although it attracted a group of
vociferous admirers.
The
work was composed in 1738 and first
performed at the Kings Theatre, Haymarket in
1739. Large forces are used: the choral movements
are often for two four-part choirs and the orchestra
includes trombones as well as the usual trumpets
and timpani. Handel’s original plan was in three
parts, the first already existing as an entirely choral
anthem written for the funeral of Queen Caroline
entitled “The ways of Zion do mourn”. He was
always prepared to use existing material in new
ways and probably saw the opportunity for an
oratorio using the funeral anthem. The rest of the

as
giving
frequent
concerts in Guildford, the choir occasionally visits
other British cities. In 1988 the Guildford Philhar-
composition therefore followed a similar choral
design.
“Exodus” relates the story of the Israelites deliverance, concentrating on the drama of the plagues of
frogs, blotches and blains, flies, lice and hail-
stones, as well as the departure from Egypt and
escape across the Red Sea. “Moses’ Song” focuses
on the liberation of the Israelites in an extended
celebration of victory. The ideas for the text are
likely to have come from Charles Jennens who
produced a similar plan for “Messiah” three years
later.
After the first performance, the funeral anthem was
dropped probably because its sombre character
seemed inappropriate for the concert hall. As is
customary, the final two parts will be performed
tonight.

REQUIEM
The concert will take place exactly two hundred
years on from Mozart’s last hours, and will
conclude with a performance of the Requiem that
will end at the time Mozart died.
Join us in this poignant commemoration of a
unique genius, who has given music lovers so
much joy. It is truly a once-a-lifetime occasion.
Tickets are available either for the concert only, or
to include a grand reception in the Guildhall at
8pm. The reception will include wine, canapes,
and live wind band music.
