Op 7 No 5 in G minor was completed on 31 January 1750. Handel performed it during the premiere of Theodora at Covent Garden on 16 March. The material of the fifth movement was part of the overture to Alceste and was later incorporated into the oratorio Jephtha. To the original five movements Smith added a sixth (a Gavotte) which he adapted from an earlier concerto (Op 4 No 3).

L’op.7 no5 en sol mineur, achevé le 31 janvier 1750, fut interprété par Hændel le 16 mars 1750, lors de la première de Theodora à Covent Garden. Le matériau du cinquième mouvement, qui faisait partie de l’ouverture d’Alceste, fut incorporé par la suite à l’oratorio Jephtha. Smith ajouta un sixième mouvement aux cinq mouvements originaux – une Gavotte adaptée d’un concerto antérieur (op.4 no3).

Opus 7 Nr. 5 in g-Moll wurde am 31. Januar 1750 vollendet. Händel führte das Stück im Covent Garden bei der Premiere von Theodora am 16. März 1750 auf. Das Material des fünften Satzes war Teil der Ouverture von Alceste und wurde später in das Oratorium Jephtha eingegliedert. Zu den ursprünglich fünf Sätzen hat Smith einen sechsten (eine Gavotte), eine Bearbeitung aus einem früheren Konzert (Opus 4 Nr. 3), hinzugefügt.
