We have already presented in the edition "Ouem vidistis pastores" (BU 2659) the procedure convincingly practiced by Fortunato Santini to underpin Handel's secular works with theological or spiritual texts in order to make them also usable for church music. The great success of this edition led to another edition of the same style: Santini selected two movements (aria and choir) from Handel's opera "Athalia" and underlined them with the famous words from Psalm 95. With German and Latin text.
