a| Israel in Egypt premiered at London's King's Theatre in the Haymarket on April 4, 1739

a| The oratorio was not well received by the first audience though commended in the Daily Post; the second performance was shortened, the mainly choral work now augmented with Italian-style arias (the first version of the piece is in three parts rather than two)

a| This piano score is based on the second version in two parts

a| The librettist of 'Israel in Egypt' is uncertain, but most scholars believe Charles Jennens (1700-1773) compiled the text
