On this day Handels oratorio Saul is performed at the Kings Theatre in London. The work was a success and was revived in future seasons. Charles Jennens provided the libretto (they also worked on other pieces such as Messiah) and the orchestrations were one of Handels most ambitious with a carillon, organ, trombones, harp, extra woodwind instruments and kettledrums borrowed from the Tower of London
