About This Song
About "Handel: Deborah, HWV 51, Pt. 2: No. 7, Air. Whilst You Boast the Wondrous Story (Sisera)" by Catherine Denley
Sisera boasts of wondrous deeds, but Denley's voice carries an undercurrent of irony. The aria's martial rhythms and bright colors mask a creeping unease, as if the story's wonder is a thin veil over impending doom. A masterclass in dramatic ambiguity.
