\"\"<\/a>En de dimanche aux couleurs estivales, ma s\u00e9ance lyrique est consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0Judas Maccabaeus\u00a0\u00bb, un oratorio compos\u00e9 par Georg Friedrich Handel en 1746, sur un livret tir\u00e9 de la Bible par Thomas Morell \u00e0 partir du Livre des Maccab\u00e9e de l’Ancien Testament, qui retrace l’histoire de Judas Maccab\u00e9e<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, h\u00e9ros juif qui a men\u00e9 la r\u00e9volte des Juifs contre les S\u00e9leucides, au II\u00e8me si\u00e8cle avant J.-C.
\nMalgr\u00e9 le succ\u00e8s initial de l’oeuvre –Handel a compos\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Judas Maccabaeus\u00a0\u00bb pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la victoire du duc de Cumberland sur les forces jacobites \u00e0 la bataille de Culloden en 1746<\/em>-, la discographie de cet oratorio n’est gu\u00e8re pl\u00e9thorique, et la version du jour est la seule pr\u00e9sente dans ma discoth\u00e8que. –Cliquer sur l’image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>-.<\/p>\n

L’oratorio est structur\u00e9 en trois actes, chacun contenant une s\u00e9rie d’airs, de r\u00e9citatifs et de ch\u0153urs. Handel combine une narration historique puissante avec une musique expressive et \u00e9mouvante : les th\u00e8mes centraux de \u00ab\u00a0Judas Maccabaeus\u00a0\u00bb sont la lutte pour la libert\u00e9 et la foi in\u00e9branlable. L’\u0153uvre c\u00e9l\u00e8bre le courage et la d\u00e9termination face \u00e0 l’adversit\u00e9.
\nL’oratorio avait \u00e9galement une signification politique, destin\u00e9e \u00e0 c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la victoire anglaise sur les forces ennemies lors de la seconde r\u00e9bellion jacobite<\/strong><\/span><\/a> et renfor\u00e7ant le sentiment national.
\n\"\"<\/a>Musicalement, \u00ab\u00a0Judas Maccabaeus\u00a0\u00bb est un exemple typique du souffle \u00e9pique propre \u00e0 la plupart des oratorios de Handel, avec des m\u00e9lodies expressives, des harmonies riches et une orchestration vari\u00e9e. Comme souvent chez le compositeur, les ch\u0153urs sont particuli\u00e8rement remarquables, avec des passages dramatiques et \u00e9mouvants qui soulignent les moments cl\u00e9s de l’histoire. Les solistes ont des r\u00f4les exigeants, avec des airs qui n\u00e9cessitent une grande virtuosit\u00e9 vocale et une expressivit\u00e9 \u00e9motionnelle.<\/p>\n

Beethoven, qui vouait une grande admiration \u00e0 Handel, qu’il tenait pour le plus grand musicien l’ayant pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 –\u00ab\u00a0Handel est le plus grand compositeur qui ait jamais v\u00e9cu. Je voudrais me d\u00e9couvrir et m’agenouiller devant sa tombe.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>-, a compos\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie de 12 variations pour piano et violoncelle –WoO45<\/em>– sur un th\u00e8me de l’oratorio.<\/p>\n
