Classical Slavery

This project is based on Israel in Egypt, one of the best-known and most popular oratorios by Georg Friedrich Handel, and has been created on the basis of the common history and roots of three religions; Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Musicians from the (Western) European Baroque tradition (Baroque orchestra and choir), and hence from a Christian background, are joined by musicians from Jewish and Muslim backgrounds. The basic musical form of Handel’s oratorio and its narrative structure remains untouched, for the most parts.

Miranda Sex Garden was a band from London, England. Formed in 1990, when the members were studying vocal music at the Purcell School of music together and started singing 17th Century madrigals for money in the streets of London.. Over the years, their sound became increasingly dark and sophisticated. Around the time of this album, they said they wanted to create music that evoked a "seductive garden of earthly delights, full of color and chaos.
