Handel composed the Occasional Oratorio hastily in January and February of 1746 and premiered it immediately on 14 February 1746. It contains 44 movements split over three parts. The famous chorus "Prepare the Hymn" (a paraphrase of Psalm 81:1-2) is the 26th movement and appears in the second part. The second minuet from the Music for the Royal Fireworks was reused from this oratorio. Act 1 No. 1. Arioso: Why do the gentiles tumult, And the nations muse a vain thing, The kings of the earth upstand with pow'r, And princes in their congregations Lay deep their plots throughout each land Against the Lord and His Anointed? (Milton, Psalm ii) Act 1 No. 2. Chorus: Let us break off by strength of hand, And cast from us, no more to wear The twisted cord and iron band! Him or his God we scorn to fear.
