George Frideric Handel: Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, (HWV 74)
Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne (HWV 74) is a secular cantata to a libretto by Ambrose Philips, of which the first line, "Eternal source of light divine", provides an alternative title for the work. It was probably composed during January 1713 for a performance on 6 February 1713, although there is no record of the performance having actually taken place. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG xlviA; and HHA i/6.
