Description: George Frideric Handel’s (1685-1759)) last oratorio, JEPHTHA is based on the Biblical story from Judges of Jephtha’s rash promise to God to sacrifice the first creature he meets on returning from victory in battle, only to meet his beloved daughter Iphis. In Act 3, as Jephtha is about to sacrifice Iphis with a knife, an angel appears to declare that the sacrifice is not pleasing to God, whish results in the chorus “Theme sublime of endless praise.” This edition has been revised by Don Malin and may be performed with chamber orchestra or with piano (or organ) accompaniment. The choral score is available separately for sale from the publisher.
