Most of Händel's oratorios contain orchestral interludes, or 'sinfonias', between the vocal sections. This is the most famous of them all, a triumphal celebration for full orchestra. Händel creates the atmosphere of a bright, festive occasion with a lively and vigorous melody as the exotic Queen of Sheba enters King Solomon's glitterling court.

Also known as "The Entrance of the Queen of Sheba" and "The Entry of the Queen of Sheba", it is the sinfonia that opens Act III of George Frideric Handel's 1749 oratorio Solomon. It is marked allegro and scored for two oboes and strings. It is now usually performed separately as a concert piece, and as such has become one of Handel's most famous works.

It's original key is B-flat. This excerpt is in C, making it more accessible to younger and/or amateur players as well. Enjoy!
