Handel: Alexander's Feast (2002 Remastered Version), Part 1
't was at the royal feast
Timotheus, plac'd on high
The song began from Jove
The list'ning crowd
With ravish'd ears
The praise of Bacchus
Bacchus, ever fair and young
Sooth'd with the sound
He chose a mournful Muse
He sung Darius, great and good
With downcast looks
Behold Darius great and good
The mighty master, mild smil'd to see
Softly sweet in Lydian measures
War, he sung, is toil and trouble
The many rend the skies
The prince, unable to conceal
The many rend the skies Part II
