Description
The two John Milton poems, L'Allegro [cheerfulness], and Il Pensi eroso [melancholy], describe the differences between these two moods. Charles Jennens fashioned a libretto from these texts, adding a third part entitled Moderato [moderation]. From the first performance the oratorio was already a great success, a success which continued in later years. This edition is a revised reprint of Friedrich Chrysander's edition. The vocal score and the German singing text are by Helmut Bornefeld.
