Handel's English church music spans the complete period of his
active career in London: his first anthem and the Utrecht Te Deum
were composed soon after his arrival in London, and his last works
nearly 40 years later. The repertory, which includes the Coronation
Anthem Zadok the Priest, forms one of the most impressive and
engaging areas of Baroque church music. Most of it was stimulated
by Handel's creative contact with the English Chapel Royal, a group
of professional singers in a different tradition from the opera
stars with whom he worked in the theatre.
Appearing in paperback for the first time, this first full-length
study of Handel's English Church music traces the background to the
diverse items in the repertory, which relates directly to Handel's
constant but changing relationship with the Hanoverian British
royal family, and was affected by political and dynastic events. It
also examines the circumstances of Handel's performances, the
building which (unlike his theatres) still survives in London
today.
