A series of three Handel oratorios that dramatise scenes from the lives of the Old Testament Kings.
Saul: libretto by Charles Jennens.
First performed at King's Theatre, London, 1739.
The oratorio begins with David's triumph over Goliath. It goes on to describe the young victor's deteriorating relationship with King Saul and his growing friendship with the king's son Jonathan. The emotional highpoint of the work concerns David's emotions on hearing that Jonathan and Saul have been slain in battle.
