Comments:
By Command of their Majesties. Theatrical Register, 1769: We cannot rank this among th most capital of Mr Handel's oratorios; and yet it has great merit in one particular, viz. the attempt to characterize the idea of the plagues of Egypt by the power of music, in which, perhaps, the composer has carried the force of imitation to its utmost extent. Charges: #35 (Account Book)
