Baroque Notes-Handel's Jephtha

Program annotator Jen More discusses Music of the Baroque's September 18 and 19 concerts, "Handel's Jephtha." Working furiously while his eyesight was failing, Handel tells the story of Jephtha, who promises God that if he is victorious in battle, he will sacrifice the first creature he sees when he returns-his daughter Iphis. Will Jephtha be forced to follow through on his vow? Dame Jane Glover leads the orchestra, chorus, and a cast of internationally renowned soloists in this sublime masterpiece.
