HANDEL SAUL An Oratorio with English and German Texts

MINIATURE SCORE

K 01320

PREFACE. The Oratorio SAUL was composed in the period from the 23d of July to the 27... of September 1738, and first performed on the J61hof January in the following year. The text is probably written by NEWBURGH HAMILTON, the author of Sams()'II,,as I shall prove at length in the third volume of my Life of Handel. At the end of the second movement of the Sinfonia (p. 9) Handel has noted "Organo ad libitt1m", and Smith also has entered this direction in the conducting score. It is not probable that this extempore passage was inserted when the third movement, which is a tolerably long Organ Concerto, was played ; but as the latter, according to the conducting score, was frequently omitted, the ad libitum was doubtless then adopted in its place. Several pieces are here for the first time printed with a trombone accompaniment , wanting in all previous editions, which indeed have been produced with extreme carelessness. The tromboni to the "Hallelujah" (p. 49) are only found in Handel's manuscript, not in Smith's transcript, and. may therefore probably never have been used in performance. In order not to leave unpublished any extant attempt at a richer instrumentation by Handel himself, we have admitted these tromboni, but printed them with smaller notes; the final bars, which in Handel's copy are erroneously written

Jonathan's air (p. 66) was originally followed by a song of the High Priest, who in the first arrangement of the text, at suitable places delivered himself of thoughts, in themselves certainly quite unobjectionable, but always perfectly irrelevant to the action of the piece. Handel subsequently, perceiving this, cut out his whole part ; we have given it connectedly in the Appendix. David's song "Oh Lord whose mercies" (p. 91) has in the London editions a final symphony for the harp, which however is nothing more than a mere repetition of the melody in the upper octave. This is not by Handel at all, but having been inserted by the first· publisher of the songs, has been blindly retained by later editors. The word ignominy (p. 204) was accented by Handel contrary to the English pronunciation thus

editions 1n correcting it thus : pain and ig • no • min:, In the duet between David and Michal (p. 158} two versions are given , the earlier and longer in brackets as A, the later abriged version as it appears in the original MS., as B. Similarly the air, p. 232, is given as A, and the recitative to the same words, p. 236, as B ; whichever of these appears the more suitable may be chosen for performance. The pianoforte arrangement is by the editor. - We might make many other observations on the occasionally defective notation of the instruments in the manuscripts , on various enrichments and improvements by which our edition of Saul is distinguished from all earlier ones, and especially on Handel's organ accompaniment throughout the oratorio, which is noted down in the conducting score and here published for the first time. But all these points ~ill be fully treated in the :firstvolume of the "Jahrbilcher filr musikalische Wissenschaft" which will appear next month, and to which we refer the reader.

Oh god-like youth: Da Oapo, Abne1·. Behold~ oh king, the brave, victorious youth, And in his hand the haughty giant's head. Young man, whose son art thou? Saul. The son of Jesse, David. Thy faithful servant, and a Bethlemite, Return no more to Jesse: stay with me; Saul. And as an earnest of my future favour, Thou shalt espouse my daughter: small reward Of such desert I since to thy arm alcne We owe our safety, peace, and liberty. Oh king, your favours with delight David.

My soul rejects the thought with scorn, That such a boy, till now unknown, Of poor, plebeian parents born, Should mix with roral blood his own! Though Saul's commands I can't decline, I must prevent his low design, And save the honour of his line. M1'cl,al. See, with what a scornful air She the precious gift receives! Though e'er so noble, or so fair, She cannot merit what he gives. Ah I lovely youth I wast thou desi~'d With that proud beauty to be join d!

Jonat/um. Imprudent women! your ill-tim'd comparisons, I fear, have injur'd him you meant to honour. Saul's furious look, as he departed hence, Too plainly ahew'd the tempest of his soul. Micnal. 'T is but his old disease, which thou canst cure: (1'o David.) Oh take thy harp, and as thou oft hast done, From the king's breast expel the raging fiend, And sooth his tortur'd soul with sounds divine,

Jonatnan. Bethorte W eiber ! diess unzeit'ge Sie~slied,

Fiirwahr, gefahrdet ihn, dess Ruhm 1hr preiset. Saul's wilder Blick, als er von hinnen ging, Verrieth zu klar der Seele inn'ren Sturm. Micnal. Du kennst sein altes Leid und heilst es leicht : (Zu David,) 0 nimm die Har£', und wie du oft gethan, Stille die W uth in der emporten Brust, Und sanft'ge seine Qua! mit sussem Ton. (David ab.)

(Ent David.)

Wild schwoll im Sturm emp6rter Wuth, In dunklem Groll des Koniga Blut, Als David's Spiel in holdem Klang W eckt' der Harfe sanften Sang : Suss l!'leitemj.atillt' ihr reizvoll Lied Mit hndem Trost sein krank Gemii.th; Melancholie und Gram entiloh'n, Und Fried' und Ruli' umgab den Thron.

Fell rage and black despair posseSB'd With horrid away the monarch's breast; When David with celestial fire Struck the sweet persuasive lyre: Soft gliding down his raviah'd ears, 'l'he healing sounds dispel hie cares; Despair and rage at once are gone, And peace and hope resume the throne.

Rack'd with infernal pains, ev'n now the king Comes forth, and mutters horrid words, which hell, No human tongue, has taught him. David. 1, Oh Lord, whose mercies numberless O'er all thy works prevail: Tho_11gh daily Man thy laws transgress, Thy patience cannot fail. 2. If yet his sins be not too great, The busy fiend control; Yet longer for repentance wait, And heal hie wounded soul. Jonatlian. 'T is all in vain; his fury still continues: With wild distraction on my friend he stares, Stampe on the ground, and seems inte11t on mischief, Saul. A serpent, in my bosom warm'd, Would sting me to the heart: But of hie venom soon disarm'd, Himself shall feel the smart. Ambitious boy I now learn what danger It is to rouze a monarch's anger! (Throws his javelin, Exit David,)

Has he escap'd my rage? I charge thee, Jonathan, upon thy duty, And all, on your allegiance, to destroy '!'his bold, aapiri~ youth; for while he lives, I am not safe - Heply not, but obey.

Capricious man, in humour lost, By ev'ry wind of passion toss'd I Now sets his vassal on the throne, Then low as earth he casts him down !

Your just commands I always have obey'd: But to destroy my friend! the brave, the virtuous, The God-like David I Israel's defender, And terror of her foes ! to disobey you What shall I call it? - 't is an act of duty To God, to David - nay, indeed, to you.

Ever at all good repining, Still the happy undermining I God and Man by thee infested, Thou by God and Man detested! Most tliyself thou dost torment, At once the crime and punishment. Hide thee in the blackest night : Virtue sickens at thr sight ! Hence I eldest born of hell Cease in human breast to dwell.

Scene2. JONATHAN

and DAVID,

Jonathan. Ah I dearest friend, undone by too much virtue I Think you, an evil spirit was the cause Of all my father's rage? It was, indeed, A spirit of envy, and of mortal hate. He has resolv'd your death; and sternly charg'd His whole retinue, me especially, To execute his vengeance. But sooner Jordan's stream, I awear, Back to his spring ahall swiftly roll, Than I consent to hurt a hair Of thee, thou darling of my soul. Daoid. Oh strangevicissitude I But yesterday He thought me worthr of hiri daughter's love; To-day lie seeks my life. Jonathan, My sister Merab, by his own gift thy right, He has bestow'd on Adriel.

1. Scene. CHOR. Weiche I hollgebomer Neid I Flieh' der Menschen Brust allzeit ! D11,der alles Gute meidet, Sich an allem Unheil weidet, Wider Gott und Menschen streitet, Gott und Menschen gleich verleidet, D11,an eignen Qualen reich, Und Siind' und Straf' in dir zogleich : Weich' in schwarze Nacht zuriick, T11gendbebt vor deinem Blick! Flieh' ! hollgeborner Neid I Flieh' der Menschen Brust allzeit I

2. Scene. und DAVID. Jonathan. Ach, edler Freund, gestiirzt durch zu viel Tugend! JONATHAN

Denkat du, ein boser Geist erfiille so Dea Vatera Herz mit Wuth? Es iat, fiirwabr, Dea todtlichen Neidea und der Rache Geist. Er sinnt auf deinen Tod; under gebot · Dem Kriegagefolge, und dem Sohne selbst, Die Rache zu vollziehen, Doch rollt des Jordan's Strom, fiirwahr, Zurn Quell zuriick die klare Flut, Eh' diese Hand veraehrt ein Haar An dir, du edles treues Blut.

DER GEIST SAMUELS, SAUL.

Why hast thou forc'd me from the realms of peace Back to this world of woe ? Oh holy Prophet I Refuse me not thy aid in this distress. The num'rous foe stands ready for the battle: God has forsaken me: no more he answers By prophets or by dreams : no hope remains, Unless I learn from thee, what course to take.

Samuel.

Hath God forsaken thee? and dost thou ask My counsel? Did I not foretel thy fate, When, madly disobedient, thou didst spare The curst Amalekite, and on the spoil Didst fiy rapacious? Therefore God this day Hath verified my words in thy destruction, Hath rent the kingdom from thee, and bestow'dit On Da,·id, whom thou hatest for his virtue. Thou and thy sons shall be with me to-morrow, And Israel by Philistine arms shall fall. The Lord hath said it: He will make it good.

Warum beschworst du aus dem Reich der Ruh' Mich in die Welt der Qual? 0 heil'ger Seher ! Versage mir nicht Rath in meiner Noth! Der Feinde Heer steht schlachtgeriistet vor mir; Gott aber wich von mir; mir spricht kein Seher, Kein Traum weissaget mir; kein Trost mehr bleibt, Wenn nicht dein weiser Mund mir Rath gewiihrt. Verliess Jehova dich? und rufst du mich Um Hiilfe? Sagt' ich nicht dein Loos voraus, Alli du nicht ausgerichtet seinen Zorn Am Volke Amalek, und auf den Raub Dich gierig wandtest? Darum hat der Herr An dir bewii.hrtmein Wort zu deinem Unheil, Die Krone dir entzogen und verliehen An David, dem du ziirnst um seine Tugend.

Wise, great and good, Above thy years endu'd, HOV(bright each grace does shine, Thus blesa'd with what'sdivine! Firm as a rock thy strength shall stand, Thy wisdom ever bless tlie land.

Dar,id.

Fly, malicious spirit, fly, Own the pow'r of harmony, To thy native hell re1;e I Gracious Lord, his pain assuage, And, instead of burning rage, With thy peace his mind inspire. IV. Impious wretch, of race accurat I

m.

Dar,id.

(etc., see Act III. Scene 4.)

IC,

0 Herr, dess Vorbedacht Stets zu deasen Helle wacht, Der den Pfad der Tugend wallt: Sei deinem treuen Diener hold, 0 schiitze ihn vor Saul's Gewalt, Der unversohnlich grollt Und, trotzend deinem :Machtgebot, Verderb und Tod ihm droht.

u.

Jonathan.

Fromm, gross und gut, Wie ragst du Jungling vor an Muth, Wie kront der Milde Zier Die Kraft der That in dir I Stark wie ein Fels deckt deine Hand Und schirmet segnend dieses Land.

Dar,id.

Flieh', unael'ger Geist, entflieh', Weich' der Macht der Harmonie, Zu der Holle Schlund enteil' ! Gott der Gnad', o send' ihm Trost In dem Sturm, der ihn umtost, Send' ihm deines Friedens Heil. IV. Mann der Schmach, im Stamm verflucht !

David.
