Fun facts about Handel's Israel in Egypt abound! While the chorus is hard at work mastering this fabulous piece in time for our concert in January, our team of music researchers has been Googling like crazy.
Did you know...
  • ...GFH allegedly wrote the whole, massive work in 27 days?
  • ...there are 28 – yes, 28– sections featuring double choruses? That's eight different vocal sections all singing at the same time.
  • There is an existing recording of several thousand singers singing "Moses and the Children of Israel" at the Crystal Palace Handel Festival of 1888.
