Organteq 2 and a trumpet and a French horn.

Judas Maccabeus (died 161/160 bce) was a Jewish guerrilla leader who defended his country from invasion by the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, preventing the imposition of Hellenism upon Judaea, and preserving the Jewish religion.

In 1746, the composer Georg Frideric Handel composed his oratorio Judas Maccabeus putting the biblical story in the context of the Jacobite rising of 1745. This work had been written for the celebrations following the Duke of Cumberlands victory over theScottish Jacobite rebels at theBattle of Culloden in 1746. The oratorio's most famous chorus is "See, the conqu'ring hero comes"
