| Scholl, Schlick, Handel: He Shall Feed His Flock - 349 sec
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, and He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. Come unto Him, all yet that labour, that are heavy laden, and He will give you rest. Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him, for He is meek and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Geroge Frideric Handel: Messiah.

 | | Andreas Scholl, Handel: Oh Lord, Whose Mercies Numberless - 252 sec
Perfect opportunity to compare interpretations by outstanding countertenors Andreas Scholl and Paul Esswood (an earlier video upload) of David's air from Handel's oratorio "Saul", demonstrating that the Baroque singer was "co-composer", e.g., in the repeat section.
"Oh Lord, whose mercies numberless, o'er all they works prevail: though daily Man thy laws transgress, thy patience cannot fail. / If yet his sin be not too great, the busy fiend control; yet longer for repetance wait, and heal his wounded soul."
