Looking in depth at Handel's oratorios and masques in dramatic form--among them some of the highest achievements of musical drama ever written--Dean here discusses general questions of history, style, and performance, and explains how the oratorios have been progressively misrepresented sinceHandel's day; subsequent chapters detail each of his eighteen works in this genre.
