Handel, He Shall Feed His Flock (from Messiah)
Grade: 2.5
Duration: 3’00
A strings-only setting of the gently rocking pastoral aria from Handel’s most famous oratorio, Messiah. Rhythms have been adjusted to 3/4 time and the entire piece is transposed to the string-friendly keys of G and C major. Melody begins with unison 2nd violin and viola then transfers to 1st violin as the middle voices fill out the harmony. This is a great piece to develop ensemble tone, tuning, and balance.
