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 multi-volume major 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. As well as
being an outstanding musician with a successful career as a
composer of Italian operas and English oratorios, Handel was a
well-known figure in his own lifetime, with an international
reputation. 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 includes family documents from Halle, then covers Handel's
early career in Germany and Italy, followed by the period in which
he became an established composer for London's Italian opera
company while also writing the Water Music and the Utrecht Te Deum
for the British court.
