Redemption. A Sacred Oratorio in Score Selected from the Favorite Works of G. F. Händel, and Formed into a Regular Drama by Samuel Arnold - Handel, George Frideric 1685-1759; Arnold, Samuel 1740-1802 (London Birchall, 1797)
Samuel Arnold had his pasticcio "Redemption", composed largely of Handel works, premiered in 1786. However, it was probably not printed until years later, because Arnold used printing plates for this that he had had made for his Handel Complete Edition (1787-1797). Included are edited excerpts from the "Occasional Oratorio" (4 x), from "Samson", "Jephtha", "Semele", "Saul" (4 x), "Joseph", "Judas Maccabaeus" (2 x), "Israel in Egypt" (5 x), "Joshua" (2 x), "Esther" (2 x), "Theodora", the "Funeral Anthem", the "Utrecht Jubilate" (2 x), as well as from the operas "Ezio", "Sosarme", "Siroe", "Deidamia" and "Rodelinda".
