This Anthem, originally - as its secondary title says - for the funeral of Queen Caroline, wife of George I, was re-worked by Handel as the first part of his Oratorio "Israel in Egypt", describing the defeat of the Jews and their transportation to Egypt, though these days the re-worked version is rarely used as such. Parts 1 and 2 of "Israel" - see " Israel in Egypt" - were thus originally Parts 2 & 3.
Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work (with thanks to Mike Gibson, who provided the original Noteworthy Files)
Note that in Part 6 the Sopranos are NOT divided out.
