Product Description

Pastoral Symphony is the 13th movement in Handel's Messiah.  This is the beginning of Scene 4 of the oratorio, The Annunciation to the Shepherds, after the birth of Jesus.  

The word pastorale in baroque music is a melody in thirds over a drone bass.  Originally called Pifa, this movement was named after the shepherd bagpipers - pifferari -  who used to play their instruments in the streets of Rome at Christmastime.  

Scored for 2 altos, bass, optional contra alto in G, and contrabass flutes.  There is an optional cello part that doubles the contrabass.

Duration: 2.5 minutes
