Judas Maccabaeus

'See, the Conquering Hero Comes', a march and 'Sing Unto God' from the oratorio 'Judas Maccabaeus' make up this fabulous sequence representing Handel at his most inspired. If you're used to hearing the opening melody sung as a hymn, you're in for a shock as tempo really is much more brisk! Judas Maccabaeus tells the story of Hanukkah: this music is therefore apt for a religious, as well as secular, occasion.
