Question

Emilio de' Cavalieri wrote the first of these pieces, which pioneered “recitar cantando,” (15[1])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” (10[1])from one of these pieces after the deaths (10[1])of Jonathan and the title character. (10[1])Bagpipers are depicted in the “Pifa” section of a piece of this type partly by Charles Jennens. The “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” (10[1])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 Messiah. ■END■
