About This Song

About "Handel: Judas Maccabaeus, HWV 63, Act I: No. 17, Air. 'Tis Liberty, Dear Liberty Alone (Israelitish Man)" by Catherine Denley

A paean to liberty, sung with restrained fervor. Denley's tone gleams like a polished chain, each ornament a link between longing and resolve. The tension between sweet melody and solemn text creates a poignant paradox.
