Olinto pastore, Tebro fiume, Gloria, HWV 143
Gloria
La Grande Bande presents Handel’s “Olinto pastore, Tebro fiume, Gloria, HWV 143”
Two of the most important cities in Handel’s lifetime were the English and Italian capitals of London and Rome: in Rome, Handel planted seeds for a successful career as an operatic composer; in London, his career blossomed to its fullest potential both at the English court and in the English
opera houses.
Set on the shores of the River Tiber, Handel’s cantata O come chiare e belle stars an ancient River Tiber coaxed by the shepherd Olinto and goddess Gloria, to reinvigorate itself in a new era. Handel’s famous Water Music Suites were composed in 1717 to accompany King George I on an evening journey on the River Thames from Whitehall to Chelsea.
