(continued.) ^ He led them through the dBep, He led them ^ fe k / through the deep as through a wil der - ness 84 ISEAEL IN EGYPT In the last Soprano entry of this subject the plunge is deferred, with increased effect until close upon the end of the subject : Ex. 32. (continued.) i 1 ? He led them through the deep, He led them through the deep as through a wil der - ness The second subject, modified in various ways, is constantly at work throughout, first in the orchestra only and then both the...re and in the voices. Thus the opening of the Psalm-movement gives a rough scheme which is adhered to in the double chorus, but with a richness and exuberant variety of eflFects which make the earlier composition, fine as it undoubtedly is, pale into comparative insignificance. The companion picture describing the destruction of Israel's pursuers is drawn with tremendous force in the following chorus (No. 14) " But the waters over- whelmed their enemies." The original idea for this too was taken by Handel from one of his earlier works, the Chandos anthem " The Lord is my light " composed between the years 1717 and 1820' while he was music-director to the Duke of Chandos.
