Reel · 4/4 · G major

The Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba is a famous orchestral movement composed by George Frideric Handel in 1748 for his oratorio Solomon. Written in 4/4 meter and G major, this lively piece features interlocking, virtuosic lines for two oboes and strings that create a bright, energetic, and celebratory character. Although originally conceived for the theatrical stage rather than folk tradition, it has since been widely adapted by various instrumentalists and remains a staple of classical repertoire, famously performed at the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.
