00:00 Three long unison notes open the the movement.
00:17 The motive is played in the upper strings. The melodic  shape sounds far more like the twentieth century than  like Handel.
00:28 Theme repeats, the long low note continues as the only  accompaniment.
00:34 Harpsichord and low strings enter playing a continuo-like  accompaniment. The melody in the upper strings sounds  like a contemporary movie theme but soon moves to  more baroque ideas including trills.
00:56 Return of the more modern melody again over long  sustained notes. It is passed around the orchestra.
01:15 Return to baroque texture, oboe solo.
01:31 The theme enters again, moves quickly through the  woodwinds.
01:45 Again the strings state the theme which transforms into  the baroque melody.
02:02 Traditional baroque cadence. Last note is sustained in  the lower strings as the upper strings again quote  the theme.
02:10 A static section where the melodic motion is frozen.  Fragments of the theme are played by the strings, a  sustained chord continues. 
02:30 Brief rolled chords by the harpsichord and a long  sustained chord held by the winds and strings end the  movement.
02:40 End.
