A LMOST exactly two hundred years ago Handel became a naturalized Englishman. A month later he produced the Opera Scipio, from which we are to hear an air.
It ran for only thirteen nights. Except for one or two numbers, it was a complete failure.
In the air Hear me, ye winds and wares, we have a fine example of the force and dignity that Handel could so well express in song.
