This handbook covers Handel's best known public music, the Water
Music, written at the outset of his English career, and the Music
for the Royal Fireworks, the last and largest of his orchestral
creations. The genesis of these two orchestral suites is examined
in its political as well as musical context; practical questions of
performance style and interpretation are balanced by an enquiry
into Handel's compositional processes, and the relationship of his
other large-scale orchestral compositions, especially the Concerti
a due cori, to these suites. Original source material is set
alongside the most recent theories on Handel's character and
working methods. In particular the problem of 'borrowings' is
addressed with reference to most recent identifications of Handel's
sources, together with the later presentation of these works in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with an account of recordings,
editions and a summary of performance questions.
