Joshua is one of four so-called 'victory' oratorios Handel composed in the late 1740s, which commemorate the defeat of the 1745-46 Jacobite Rebellion. It takes as it's subject matter the biblical story of Joshua, who roused his people to a sequence of divinely aided victories. The oratorio remained a favorite with English and continental audiences until well after Handel's death. This recording, taken from live performances, features a superb cast of soloists supported by the Festspiel Orchester Göttingen, conducted from the harpsichord by Laurence Cummings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoshua, Hwv 64: Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoshua, Hwv 64: Act I: Ye Sons Of Israel, Ev\u0026amp;#39;ry Tribe Attend (Chorus Of Israelites)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoshua, Hwv 64: Act I: Recitative: Behold, My Friends, What Vast Rewards Are Giv\u0026amp;#39;n (Joshua, Caleb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoshua, Hwv 64: Act I: Aria: O First In Wisdom, What Vast Rewards Are Giv\u0026amp;#39;n (Caleb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoshua, Hwv 64: Act I: Recitative: Matrons And Virgins.
