Music, Spread Thy Voice Around, from Solomon for flute quintet

Handel’s oratory “Solomon” features this libretto in Act 3, when the choir is meant to depict the sweet lulling sound of music. It is part of a big feast when the Queen of Sheba visits the king. The music flows calmly in the style of a siciliano and is a little gem that easily complements other selections of a flute choir presentation.
