The life and career of George Frideric Handel, one of the most
frequently performed composers from the Baroque period, are
copiously and intricately documented through a huge variety of
contemporary sources. This major multi-volume publication is the
most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of these documents.
Presented chronologically in their original languages with English
translations and with commentaries incorporating the results of
recent research, the documents provide an essential and accessible
resource for anyone interested in Handel and his music. In charting
his activities in Germany, Italy and Britain, the documents also
offer a valuable insight into broader eighteenth-century topics,
such as court life, theatrical history, public concerts and
competition between music publishers. This volume covers the period
of Handel's London opera career during which he achieved gradual
independence from the Royal Academy opera company, but also
introduced English theatre oratorios and wrote the music for the
1727 coronation.
