Anniversaries: Music That Celebrates Legends

Georg Frideric Handel (February 23, 1685 — 14 April 1759)
Born in Germany, Handel abandoned the study of law (his father’s idea) for music. At age 25, he became Kapellmeister for Elector George of Hanover, who was crowned George I of England a few years later. Handel moved to London in 1712 and became one of the most celebrated and prolific English composers: 42 operas, 29 oratorios, 120 cantatas, 16 organ concerti, and many smaller works. Wiki ... |
