This collection presents 35 of Handel's finest keyboard works for
solo instruments, reproduced from the monumental Deutsche
Handelgesellschaft edition. Popular, accessible selections include
the celebrated Eight Great Suites, including the Harmonious
Blacksmith Air and the Passacaille in G Minor as well as sonatas,
partitas, and other works.
These four splendid anthems were composed for the coronation of
George II in October 1727 and have since retained a position at the
heart of the English choral tradition. The popular anthem Zadok the
priest has been performed at all subsequent coronations, and
Handel's other contributions to the royal occasion - Let thy hand
be strengthened, The King shall rejoice, and My heart is inditing -
have the same majestic grandeur, with affecting contrasts between
different sections of the sacred texts. The editor, Clifford
Bartlett, has corrected various inconsistencies in Handel's score,
and complete details of sources and editorial method, additional
performance notes, and a critical commentary can be viewed in the
companion full score available on hire.
for SATB soloists, SATB choir, and orchestra There is no single
definitive version of Messiah. Handel continued to make revisions
to the score throughout his life either to improve it or to suit
the abilities of individual performers or the needs of an occasion.
This edition presents the standard version (with which most people
are familiar) complete with a new, practical piano reduction. The
appendix contains most of Handel's alternative movements and
transpositions. The full score includes all the alternative
movements and transpositions in their correct sequence and all
material is signposted clearly and cross-referenced with the vocal
score. Clifford Bartlett provides a text that is as close as
possible to the sources, yet is presented with performers' needs in
mind. Both full and vocal scores provide guidance on performance
practice, and the vocal score includes ance piano/organ reduction
suitable for both rehearsal purposes and performance without
orchestra. Complete orchestral material and vocal scores are
available on hire/rental,
Handel's Eight Great Suites are published as part of ABRSM's
'Signature' Series - a series of authoritative performing editions
of standard keyboard works, prepared from original sources by
leading scholars. Includes informative introductions and
performance notes.
