Feel the fiery mood of Handel’s Dixit Dominus, with strings and soloists. Faced with the church’s ban on opera, young Handel smartly pivoted, putting the same passion into sacred works like this one. Next, listen for echoes of the convent in a double-choir version by Benedictine nun Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, who also fought efforts by the church to limit her talents.
