Misc. Notes Although given the English title "Great Jehovah's awful word," this aria is not part of Handel's Israel in Egypt. This is Handel's aria Vuò dar pace from Tamerlano, set a fifth higher to English words (possibly by John Christopher Smith the younger) and inserted in the oratorio in 1765. (See Life of Handel by Victor Schoelcher, 1857). From Royal College of Music Library, London (GB-Lcm): MS 2254
