George Frideric Handel: L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, HWV 55

George Frideric Handel L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, HWV 55 The Cheerful Man, the Thoughtful Man and the Moderate Man L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato (The Cheerful Man, the Thoughtful Man, and the Moderate Man), HWV 55, is a pastoral ode by George Frideric Handel based on the poetry of John Milton. History Handel composed the work from 19 January to 4 February 1740,[1] and it was premiered on 27 February 1740 at the Royal Theatre of Lincoln's Inn Fields. At the urging of one of Handel's librettists, Charles Jennens, Milton's two poems, "L'Allegro" and "il Penseroso", were arranged by James Harris, interleaving them to create dramatic tension between the personified characters of Milton's poems (L'Allegro or the "Joyful man" and il Penseroso or the "Contemplative man"). The first two movements consist of this dramatic dialog between Milton's poems. In an attempt to unite the two poems into a singular "moral design", at Handel's request, Jennens added a new poem, "il Moderato", to create a third movement. The popular concluding aria and chorus, "As Steals the Morn" is adapted from Shakespeare's The Tempest. 02:01 - Synopsis 03:05 - Part 1 1:03:06 - Part 2
