報　告
 Dr. Ruth Smith (英国ヘンデル協会 Handel Society London)

'Creating national art: the soil in which Handel planted English oratorio’


Handel introduced oratorio to Britain, but the ground for its creation and its popularity was already prepared. The words he set to music were provided to him by English writers steeped in British culture, who often also suggested the subjects of the oratorios. In retrospect, we see that Handel’s oratorios responded to the voices in British religion, literature, public entertainment and political commentary which were calling for a means of asserting national identity, fostering patriotism, strengthening faith, and improving art. Writing for the elite audiences of his time, Handel created a form of unacted music drama which became a defining national genre.
