HANDEL / MILTON
As part of the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of John Milton’s birth, headed by Christ’s College, and in partnership with the Suffolk Villages Festival, Cambridge Early Music presents a performance of a rarely-heard Handel masterpiece. Milton’s ‘L’Allegro’ and ‘Il Penseroso’ provide the text of the first two sections, while Handel’s regular librettist Charles Jennens completed the set with ‘Il Moderato’. Extolling the pleasures of the English countryside, this secular oratorio contains some of Handel’s most beautiful and memorable music.
