	George Frideric Handel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Frideric Handel (or Georg Friedrich Händel in German) (February 23, 1685 – April 14, 1759) was a German Baroque composer who was a leading composer of concerti grossi, operas and oratorios.
		Handel was born at Halle in Saxony in 1685, coincidentally in the same year that both Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti were born.
		Handel's compositions include some fifty operas, twenty-three oratorios, and a large amount of church music, not to speak of his superb instrumental pieces, such as the organ concerti, the Opus 6 Concerti Grossi, the Water Music, and the Fireworks Music.

		The previous year Handel, who had been appointed a composer to the Chapel Royal in 1723, had composed four anthems for the coronation of George II and had taken British naturalization.
		Handel was very economical in the re-use of his ideas; at many times in his life he also drew heavily on the music of others (though generally avoiding detection) - such 'borrowings' may be of anything from a brief motif to entire movements, sometimes as they stood but more often accommodated to his own style.
		Handel died in 1759 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, recognized in England and by many in Germany as the greatest composer of his day.

	George Frideric Handel. MIDI files (free download)
		Handel’s focus on opera and oratorio, and the relative paucity of keyboard music from his pen, result in a very small number of pieces designated ‘fugue’, the most prominent being the Six Fugues or Voluntarys for the Organ or Harpsichord issued by Walsh in 1735.
		Handel’s most important contributions to the genre are probably those in the choruses of his oratorios, which differ in only small ways from the keyboard fugues (two of the six keyboard fugues of 1735, for instance, ended up arranged as choruses in Israel in Egypt).
		In general, Handel’s treatment of fugue is freer and less rigorous than Bach’s: the part-writing (at least of the keyboard fugues) is often loosely handled, the counterpoint is sometimes allowed to relax into thematic statement accompanied by chordal texture, thematic statements are less recognizably grouped, episodes less clearly defined, thematic material less economically used.

		In 1709 he went to Rome in the service of the exiled Polish queen Marie Casimire; while in Rome he met Thomas Roseingrave who would later lead the enthusiastic reception of the composer's sonatas in London.
		Domenico was already a harpsichord-player of eminence, and there is a story that at a trial of skill with George Friderich Handel at the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni in Rome he was adjudged perhaps superior to Handel on that instrument, although inferior on the organ.
		Later in life, he was known to cross himself in veneration, when speaking of Handel's skill.

		With the appearance of composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, George Friderich Handel, and Henry Purcell, it isn’t at all surprising that great things happened.
		What made it even more spectacular a period for composition was that churches, grandiose courts, extremely wealthy benefactors and beautiful theaters took things to an even greater level, one that is virtually unmatched in excellence.
		Handel’s Sonata da Camera is a beautiful work which when played correctly can cause a person to believe they have gone back in time.

		George Friderich Handel composed the work, which he called "Messiah" (Not "The" Messiah), in 23 days during 1741.
		If you should find some of the words here unfamiliar, it is because in the present days, certain pieces composed by Handel to the texts he chose from the Bible (which he regularly read) are seldom, if ever, performed.
		Handel specifically picked the universally used English translation of the time - which is correctly termed the "Authorized Version" - because of its inherent beauty and poetry, to compose his music to, even though he was a German by descent.

		It appears from the meager information preserved in the church books of Dettingen, that this Johann Friderich Lieb was a hard working, competent man. It is interesting to observe his growing prestige within the community as reflected in the birth register entries.
