Y, BERNERS STREET. LONDON (w.)EDITOR’S PREFACE. Huaxpan's “ Semele” is, like the same composer's “* Hercules,” a secular oratorio. The libretto was originally written as an opers-book by Congreve, but, being found unéuitable for the stage, was converted by some slight alterations into an Oratorio. The music was written between June 8 and July 4, 1743; bat the work ‘was not performed until February 10 of the following yoar. ‘Tho pianoforte accompaniment to the present edition is mainly that prepared for the German Handel Society by E. F. Richter ; in only a few passages, where it was ot very close to the original score, has the present editor ventured to modify it.SEMELE. DRAMATIS PERSONS. Soren Tenor.
