In 1859 Henry Chorley termed Israel in Egypt “something apart from, alone, above all other works existing in descriptive choral music“. To approach this prodigious piece in any other way, or to attempt a strict comparison with Handel’s other oratorios, is somewhat fruitless: for this is indeed a work apart, unique in its epic conception and in the dazzling variety of its choral and orchestral writing. Nowhere else except in Dixit Dominus (1707), the tour deforce of his youthful stay in Italy, did Handel make such sustained demands of his choral singers, stretching to the limit their range of dramatic expression, stamina and sheer virtuosity.
