Handel, George Frederic. (1685-1759). Joshua and Oratorio [1748]. ScoreLondon: J. Walsh. 1748. First edition. 66 pages, folio (c.32.5 x 23.4cm), engraved title and music, table of songs and advertisement, privilege. Worn contemporary marble boards. Front joint separating, a few small stains. Smith no.1; RISM H 614.
Joshua, composed between 19 July and 19 August in 1747, and first performed in March 1748, is Handel's fourth collaboration with the librettist Thomas Morell. This further "victory" oratorio, written only a few months after the enormously successful debut of Judas Maccabaeus, has been somewhat overshadowed by its predecessor though it contains some of Handel's greatest music.
