Originally scored for strings and a pair of oboes, this energetic sinfonia comes from Handel's oratorio "Solomon." Offered here in the more accessible key of G major, this particular string orchestra arrangement allows directors to assign principal player solos from any section, with those passages incorporated into all parts for performance flexibility. A timeless Baroque standard for contest or concert, designed to showcase your ensemble in the best light. George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was among the most celebrated German composers of the Baroque Era. Following great success in Germany and Italy, he moved to London in 1712, where he created some of his most iconic works, including Messiah and Music for the Royal Fireworks. In 1748, Handel composed his oratorio, Solomon, based on biblical stories of the wise King Solomon. The brilliant instrumental sinfonia, Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, serves as the prelude to Act Three, and portrays the bustling energy of the court, in preparation for the Queen's entrance. Originally scored for strings and a pair of oboes, this string orchestra arrangement provides an opportunity for principal players to cover the oboe solos. These passages have been incorporated into all the parts, so the director can assign them in a variety of combinations.
