"TYRANTS NOW NO MORE SHALL DREAD" by George Fredrick Handel — Lyrics

Tyrants now no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread. Tyrants now no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread. Tyrants now, tyrants shall no more, now no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, now tyrants shall no more, no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, tyrants shall no more, no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread. Tyrants now no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, tyrants now no more shall dread, tyrants now, tyrants shall not dread, now tyrants shall not dread, shall not dread, now tyrants shall not dread, tyrants now, tyrants shall no more, now no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, now tyrants shall no more, no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, tyrants now no more shall dread on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread, on necks of vanquish'd slaves to tread. Horrid forms of monstrous birth again shall vex the groaning earth. Fear of punishment is o'er. The world's avenger is no more.

About "TYRANTS NOW NO MORE SHALL DREAD"

For choirs that love to tackle the great classical works, this dramatic chorus by G.F. Handel offers a thrilling challenge. "Tyrants Now No More Shall Dread" is a powerful, fast-paced piece that demands agility and precision from every voice part. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of liberation and the looming threat of chaos, singing of vanquished slaves and the fear of monstrous forces returning to the groaning earth.

In the Nigerian choral scene, classical pieces like this are often the highlight of grand concerts, choir anniversaries, and classical music competitions. The contrapuntal lines—where the sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses weave in and out of each other with rapid, repeating phrases—require intense focus and breath control during rehearsals. When a choir finally locks in those intricate runs and delivers the final, resounding "is no more," the sheer vocal energy leaves the audience completely captivated.
