The act ends with a grand chorus celebrating the temple's completion. The third act centers on Solomon's love life, specifically his relationship with the daughter of Pharaoh. The act opens with a chorus celebrating the arrival of the queen of Egypt, followed by a duet between Solomon and the queen. The act ends with a grand chorus celebrating Solomon's love for the queen of Egypt. Handel's music in Solomon is characterized by its grandeur and majesty, with large choruses and intricate orchestration. The oratorio features a variety of musical styles, including recitatives, arias, and choruses.
