However, neither Handel nor his librettist referred to \"Semele\" as an opera or an oratorio, which, according to the understanding at the time, would have required a biblical and\/or Christian subject matter. Contemporary audiences also disagreed on the genre. The problematic classification as an oratorio has persisted into the present day, likely due to the edition labeled as such by Chrysander. The \"Halle Handel Edition\" (HHA) distances itself from this classification and, considering the available sources, refrains from assigning a genre label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCongreve deviates from the mythological source multiple times in order to create tensions among the characters. The desired marriage between Semele and Athamas, whom she does not love, is an addition by Congreve to provoke the envy of her sister Ino, who desires Athamas herself. Therefore, Ino sees her own advantage in Semele's abduction by Jupiter. While Jupiter's wife Juno decides to destroy Semele out of jealousy for his relationship with her, Jupiter brings Ino to his palace to console Semele. The vengeful Juno takes advantage of Ino's presence and transforms into her likeness, persuading Semele to carry out a plan that later proves fatal. in the end, Ino emerges as the winner, as she is able to convince their father, Cadmus, to marry her to Athamas. The appearance of Apollo in the final scene to announce that Semele's immortal son Bacchus was saved from her ashes provides little consolation. However, this twist allows the drama to conclude with exuberant joy and a magnificent final chorus after the tragic scenes in the third act, culminating in the death of the protagonist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandel's autograph score shows significant deviations from and numerous revisions of the original version premiered. All surviving early versions, the musical movements deleted before the premiere, and the version of the December 1744, are given in the appendix to the HHA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bärenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40737704837199,"sku":"BA4025-01","price":982.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/37fae3608cbc5bb1b4a3beaa50a908de.jpg?v=1780266949"},{"product_id":"handel-semele-hwv-58-barenreiter-1","title":"Handel: Semele, HWV 58","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/george-frideric-handel\"\u003eGeorge Frideric Handel (1685-1759)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEditor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mark Risinger\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOpera\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/handel-semele-hwv-58\"\u003eSemele, HWV 58\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790006569052\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e7.5\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e10.6\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 365\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUrtext \/ Critical Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe composition \"Semele\", which premiered in February 1744, does not correspond to the genre criteria of either opera or oratorio and thus belongs to a number of significant works by Handel that elude clear classification. The editor of this edition calls the work a \"musical drama in three acts\". The secular material is borrowed from Greek mythology. Semele, Zeus' lover – as always on such occasions in a transformed appearance – arouses the jealousy of Zeus' wife Hera and ultimately dies. Although Handel himself only performed it in concertante form, the work lends itself to staged performances, which is how it was performed time and again from the 20th century onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vocal score is based on the Urtext of the \"Halle Handel Edition\" (Volume I\/19.1, BA04025-01). in consideration of a complex source situation, the three surviving versions of the work that were performed during Handel's lifetime are presented here for the first time.
