The oratorio features a variety of choral and solo pieces, including recitatives, arias, and choruses. The music is characterized by its grandeur and dramatic intensity, with Handel using a range of musical techniques to evoke the emotions and events of the story. ""Israel in Egypt"" is considered one of Handel's greatest works and remains a popular piece in the choral repertoire.
