Question

Emilio de' Cavalieri wrote the first of these pieces, which pioneered “recitar cantando,” and is titled Portrayal of the Soul and the Body. Hans Werner Henze arranged one of these pieces by Giacomo Carrisini, which inspired a later piece of this type that evokes Iphis. The section “From Arabia's spicy shores” appears in a piece of this type before the section “Ev'ry sight these eyes behold.” Organ and trombone feature in the (*) “Dead March” from one of these pieces after the deaths (10[1])of Jonathan and the title character. Bagpipers are depicted in the “Pifa” section of a piece (10[1])of this type partly (10[1])by Charles Jennens. The “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” appears in one of these pieces titled Solomon, written by a composer of another of them that repeats “He shall reign forever and ever.” For 10 points, name this genre of Handel's (10[1])Messiah. ■END■
