Laudate pueri HWV 237

Scoring: Soli SS, Coro SSATB, 2 Ob, 2 Vl, 2 Va, Bc

The Psalm 112 was composed by the 22-year-old Georg Friedrich Händel during his stay in Italy. The thematic material was partially drawn from an early composition that he wrote while still in Halle and that had set the same Latin text in the form of a non-florid solo cantata.
