As simple as the better known Largo, this song of Handel's is one of those which would of itself have ensured an immortal name for its composer. The opera from which it comes has a special interest for us, as having been the first which Handel produced in this country. He arrived here at a time when the fashionable world had no great interest in any music except Italian opera, and he wrote this to an Italian text in the amazingly short time of only two weeks. It was produced with real success at the old Queen's Theatre in the Haymarket, in 1710. The new-comer did not meet with universal applause at the hands of the critics, and the satirical comments on Rinaldo by Steele and Addison, in the Spectator and Taller of those days, make interesting. though rather pathetic, reading even now.

'Cox and Box' was Sullivan's first essay in the form which afterwards brought him such universal fame. The text was adapted from the famous farce, Box and Cox, by Burnand, happily remembered as editor of Punch, and the first performance was a private one in a London house. Sullivan was given exactly a fortnight to compose the work, but in spite of the speed at which it had to be produced, it is a real gem of its kind which has ever since been popular. Its first public performance was by the German Reeds in whose hands it had a long run, and it was afterwards taken over by the D'Oyly Carte Company.
