Farewell, ye limpid springs and floods (Handel) Ruby Hughes

Farewell, ye limpid springs and floods from the oratorio Jephtha, HWV 70
by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Ruby Hughes, soprano
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Laurence Cummings, conductor

Farewell, ye limpid springs and floods,
Ye flow’ry meads and leafy woods;
Farewell, thou busy world where reign
Short hours of joy and years of pain.

Brighter scenes I seek above
In the realms of peace and love.
