Judas Maccabeus

Album by George Frideric Handel

Judas Maccabeus is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, first performed in 1747. It is written in the English choral oratorio style with Baroque orchestration and strong choral writing, and it came during Handel's later career when he focused on English-language oratorios rather than Italian opera.
