Part 1
' Without Vanity the Performance was received with a general Approbation,' said Handel, referring to his first concert at Dublin in 1741, which opened with L'Allegro td 11 Pensieroso. The work, composed in seventeen days early in 1740, was originally given in London in that year, but owing partly to the Great Frost and partly to an intrigue against Handel it failed to draw the town. In Dublin, however, there was no doubt of its success. It is, indeed, one of Handel's most delightful works. Charles Jennens, who adapted Milton's words for the purpose, added a third part, Il Moderato, written by himself. At a later period this was suppressed by Handel; ' doubtless,' we are told, he was ' led to this by the advice of friends, men of taste and culture, who wished to enjoy, with so fine a musical composition, a great poem in its integrity.' This is the form heard on Sunday and again this evening. Harold Rutland
