About Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, HWV 74: Eternal Source of Light Divine

Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne is a secular cantata composed by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) to a libretto by Ambrose Philips (1674-1749), and first performed in 1713, shortly after Handel took up residence in Britain. The cantata celebrates Queen Anne's birthday. Each stanza of the cantata concludes: The day that gave great Anne birth Who fixed a lasting peace on Earth. The text celebrates the accomplishment of the Treaty of Utrecht, negotiated by the Tory ministry of Anne in 1712 to end the War of the Spanish Succession. .
