Giuseppe riconosciuto (German: The recognized Josef ) is a libretto for an azione sacra in two parts by Pietro Metastasio . It is the fourth of his seven oratorio libretti written in Vienna and has been set to music more than 50 times. It was performed for the first time in the setting by Giuseppe Porsile on March 12, 1733 in the Hofburg Chapel in Vienna.

A German translation of the libretto appeared in Augsburg in 1753 and 1766 as a spoken drama with the name Joseph recognized by his brothers in the clerical stage of the Augustinian Peter Obladen from Ulm. Another German translation by Carl Andreas von Boguslawski appeared in 1782 under the name Joseph and his brothers: A musical drama in Berlin.

action

The libretto is based on chapters 37 to 46 of Genesis . During a famine, Joseph's brothers, with the exception of Benjamin, came to Egypt to buy groceries, since only there were supplies left. Joseph , the Pharaoh's steward, did not identify himself to them, but instructed them to return to their homeland to also fetch the youngest brother Benjamin . Simeon , another brother, was held hostage in Egypt.

First part

Joseph asks his confidante Thaneth if the brothers have already returned to Memphis. Thaneth wonders about his interest in these simple shepherds. Josef explains that he is worried about Benjamin because he himself once had a similar fate. He too was his father's favorite child and suffered from the jealousy of his brothers. Thaneth reminds Joseph of his rise to Egypt's royal court and sums up his life story. While Joseph is comforting everyone else, he continues to be worried himself. He goes.

Joseph's wife Asenat comes and asks him to release the hostage Simeon, because he has not committed a crime. She considers his imprisonment to be unjust and does not understand Joseph's severity towards him. Josefs asks her to be patient. She shouldn't judge too quickly because she doesn't know his reasons. But he is ready to listen to Simeon and has him fetched. Although Simeon does not recognize Joseph, he senses that there is something special about him. At Joseph's request, he tells about his homeland, his parents and his brothers. Joseph asks him in particular about the two brothers who did not come with him. One - Benjamin - stayed with his father. Simeon cannot and does not want to say anything about the other - Joseph himself. He is clearly uncomfortable with this topic.

Thaneth announces the arrival of the brothers. Benjamin is with them too. Joseph asks his wife to prepare a meal and lets Simeon untie the chains. The brothers come and give Joseph tribute gifts - frankincense, myrrh, and honey. Josef gives them a friendly welcome. Since he doesn't want to show his feelings, he leaves her alone. The brothers cannot explain his behavior and are concerned about their fate. Simeon believes in God's punishment for her past behavior towards her brother Joseph. Thaneth comes and invites her to the feast in Joseph's name. At the end of the first part, all the brothers ask God for his protection and forgiveness for their guilt.

Second part

Thaneth confirms to Joseph that he had given the brothers the grain as ordered and that he had hidden a golden cup in Benjamin's sack. They had left, but were followed by a servant of Josef, who stopped them at the city gate and accused them of theft. They were then arrested and repatriated. Thaneth doesn't understand the meaning behind it, but Josef assures him that he will explain everything later. He should now fetch the brothers.

While he waits for his brothers, Joseph calms his conscience. He does not want revenge, but wants his brothers to go inside and recognize their offense.

Asenat is coming. She has heard of the alleged theft and now agrees with Josef because of his previous hard-hearted behavior. But now Joseph advises moderation, as she does not yet know the background. Asenat admires his wisdom.

Thaneth leads in the prisoners. Joseph allows them to return to their homeland. Only Benjamin, with whom the stolen property was found, is said to remain in Egypt as his servant. Benjamin is horrified. He worries how her father Jacob will take this. Judah tells Joseph about saying goodbye to his father, his grief for his son Joseph, who was believed dead, and his concern for Benjamin, Rachel's only other son, whom he reluctantly let go. He suggests staying behind as a slave in his place. Eventually, Joseph can no longer bear the pleading and reveals himself to his brothers. He calms her down and asks her to fetch her father too. The injustice that they had done to him ultimately led through God's will that he was able to lead Egypt through the famine and was given the name "Savior of the Earth" (" Salvator della Terra "). Perhaps Heaven sees him as a model for a future Savior. The oratorio ends with a common chorus recommending to rely on the counsels of God. Virtue will ultimately prevail.

layout

The seven Viennese oratorios Metastasios follow those of his predecessor Apostolo Zeno . Simplicity and clarity in the structure are predominant. Metastasio dispensed with divine and allegorical persons within the plot and stuck to the three Aristotelian units of space, time and action. Therefore, many passages are only told in retrospect. His theological interpretations adhere strictly to the exegetical guidelines of the church. In many places he gave evidence in the form of biblical passages and quotations from writings by church teachers. As in his opera libretti, the action is presented in recitatives that lead to da capo arias. Ensemble pieces and choirs are only used sparingly.
