About This Song
About "Handel: Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 2, Scene 1: Accompagnato. "All They That See Him"" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
A solo tenor trembles through the accusatory text, each phrase a dagger of mockery. The sparse accompaniment leaves the voice exposed, like a figure stripped bare before a jeering crowd. Handel's accompagnato is a study in isolation, the calm of the music belying the cruelty of the words.
