This edition is the first publication of The Oratorio
of Daniel by George F. Bristow. An important New York educator, conductor,
string player, organist, and composer, Bristow wrote several large choral
works and operas, as well as dozens of smaller compositions. The Oratorio
of Daniel, which Bristow completed in 1866, was an unqualified success
at its premiere in December 1867 and at its second hearing a month later.
Reviewers regarded it as one of the most significant works of its time
and compared it to Mendelssohn’s Elijah. In his Handbook of American
Oratorios and Cantatas, Thurston Dox called The Oratorio of Daniel
"the greatest American oratorio ever written.
