Joshua is one of four so-called 'victory' oratorios Handel composed in the late 1740s, which commemorate the defeat of the 1745-46 Jacobite Rebellion. It takes as it's subject matter the biblical story of Joshua, who roused his people to a sequence of divinely aided victories. The oratorio remained a favorite with English and continental audiences until well after Handel's death. This recording, taken from live performances, features a superb cast of soloists supported by the Festspiel Orchester Göttingen, conducted from the harpsichord by Laurence Cummings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ye Sons of Israel, Ev'ry Tribe Attend \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Behold, My Friends, What Vast Rewards Are Giv'n \u003cbr\u003e1.4 O First in Wisdom, What Vast Rewards Are Giv'n \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Matrons and Virgins, with Unwearied Pray'r \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Oh!
