There are no text/lyrics; these Files were generated purely for Choral Rehearsing purposes, and so don't look pretty even though they should sound reasonable (though that depends very much on your hardware/software; mine is a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold).
Voice-emphasised Midi Files of the whole work can be downloaded for free from my Website (above). The Site also contains Midi Files for several rather more modern Composers, for which NWC versions may be available.
As noted in <A HREF="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabal_(Handel)" target="_blank">Wikipedia,</A> "Nabal" (no HWV number) is an oratorio pastiche. It was compiled from the works of Handel in 1764 by John Christopher Smith. It was first performed on 16 March 1764 at Covent Garden, London. The recitatives are presumably the work of Smith, while the arias and choruses are largely borrowed from Handel's operas, oratorios, anthems and cantatas.
There is no published digital score, though a scanned hand-written one exists, from which a modern orchestral score was prepared by Joachim Carlos Martini for a recording by Junge Kantorei and the Frankfurt Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Martini. It was from a private copy of this Score that the NWC Files were made. Unfortunately, many of the sections in the Score, particularly the Recitatives, provided only a Bass Continuo line as the "backing", and I'm not clever enough to "realise" it in standard notation.
If you know of a Website from which can freely and lawfully be downloaded a printable Vocal score for this Work, please let me know the address.
