Chill with Handel
Born in the German town of Halle in 1685, Handel studied
briefly at the University of Halle before moving to
Hamburg in 1703, where he served as a violinist in the
opera orchestra and subsequently as harpsichordist and
composer. He spent from 1706 until 1710 in Italy, where
he further developed his mastery of Italian musical
style. Appointed Kapellmeister to the future George I of
England, he visited London, where he composed the first
London opera Rinaldo in 1710 and settled there two years
later. He enjoyed aristocratic and later royal patronage,
and was occupied largely with the composition of Italian
opera with varying financial success until the 1740s. He
was successful in developing a new form, English
oratorio, which combined the musical felicities of the
Italian operatic style with an increased role for the
chorus, relative economy of production and the
satisfaction of a religious text in English, elements
that appealed to the English Protestant sensibilities of
the time. In London he won the greatest esteem and
exercised an influence that tended to overshadow the
achievements of his contemporaries and immediate
successors. He died in London in 1759 and was buried in
Westminster Abbey in the presence of some 3000 mourners.
Track 1
Apollo e Dafne: Felicissima questÆalma (Most blest is
this soul)
Apollo e Dafne was completed after HandelÆs arrival in
Hanover in 1710, to take up his appointment as
Kapellmeister to the Elector. The instrumentation is more
colourful than usual with a flute, a pair of oboes and a
bassoon added to the usual strings. The plot opens with
the god Apollo basking in the limelight having just
released Greece from the menaces of a fearful python. He
boasts that even CupidÆs archery is no match for his bow
and arrow. He is soon proved wrong when he spies the
lovely Dafne and is instantly smitten with her û she
however very sensibly rejects him and eventually she is
only able to resist his clutches by turning herself into
a laurel tree. The aria Felicissima questÆalma appears
near the beginning of the work, as Apollo first sees
Dafne while she praises the joys of freedom.

The Messiah: Pifa; I know that my Redeemer liveth; He
shall feed his flock
The Messiah is by far the best known of all English
oratorios. Its three parts deal with the birth, passion
and resurrection of Christ, using text in part derived
from the Bible and from the version of the Psalm familiar
from the Church of England Book of Common Prayer. The
work was completed and first performed in 1742 and and at
the time failed to please. This was in part because of
reservations held by some about the suitability of such a
sacred subject for a theatre. The work only achieved its
lasting success after performances in 1750 in aid of the
Foundling Hospital, an institution that continued to
benefit from an annual performance of the work.

Water Music: Air
HandelÆs Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks
mark two chronological extremes of HandelÆs career in
London. The first was written in his early years in
England to entertain a royal party sailing up the Thames,
while the second was commissioned to celebrate the peace
of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1749. While the Thames water-party
was successful enough, the Royal Fireworks, despite
achieving musical distinction, were a pyrotechnic
disaster. The fireworks themselves proved rather
disappointing, but even worse was that during the evening
the pavilion just next to the main structure caught fire!

Oboe Concerto No. 3: Sarabande
HandelÆs Oboe Concerto No. 3 in G minor was first
published in Leipzig in 1863. In four movements, the
concerto opens with a slow movement of characteristically
dotted rhythm, a touch of the French style that the
ageing Corelli, working with Handel in Rome, had claimed
to be beyond his comprehension. The second movement
Allegro is followed by the Sarabande (heard here) and a
final dance derived from the theme of the first movement.

Recorder Sonata in F Major, Op. 1, No. 11 HV369:
Siciliana
Music for smaller groups of performers by Handel includes
a number of trio sonatas, the majority for two violins
and basso continuo, six for recorder and six for violin.
The D minor Siciliana, a traditional shepherd dance, is
the third movement of the Sonata in F Major.

Concerto Grosso in D major, Op. 6, No. 5: Largo
In his concerti grossi Handel was using a form that had
been established in the late 17th century, particularly
through composers such as Corelli with whom Handel had
played during his time in Rome. The set of twelve
concerti grossi that form Op. 6 use, as Corelli and many
of his successors had done, a small solo group of two
violins and cello in contrast with the rest of the string
orchestra.

Il Trionfo del Tempo e della Veritα: Duetto, Beauty and
Pleasure
Il Trionfo del Tempo e della Veritα was first performed
in 1707 and 30 years later was staged at the Royal
Theatre of Covent Garden. In 1757, another 20 years later
Handel again revived his oratorio, this time with an
English text under the title The Triumph of Time and
Truth. The four characters Beauty, Pleasure, Time and
Disillusion all learn their lessons as the work
progresses, but in this charming duet from the early part
of the oratorio, Beauty and Pleasure point out that is it
folly for the young to worry about things more fitting
for the winter of life.

Tempo e della Veritα on:

Organ Concerto in G minor, Op. 4, No. 1: Andante
Organ Concerto in F, Op. 4, No. 4: Allegro
The six Organ Concertos Op. 4 were first performed in
1735 and 1736. The first of them, the Concerto in G
minor, is scored for an orchestra of two oboes and
strings. Its closing movement is the Andante heard here.
The set continues with concertos in B flat and G minor
and then Opus 4, No. 4 in F major, the closing movement
of which is a charming Allegro. This is followed by a
Larghetto, which is the opening movement of the
penultimate concerto, Op. 4, No. 5.

My Heart is inditing (HWV 261): KingÆs Daughters
The four Coronation Anthems, written for the coronation
of George II in 1727, represent music for a royal
occasion at its most impressive. My Heart is inditing was
the last of HandelÆs Coronation Anthems to be performed
and accompanied the coronation of George IIÆs wife, Queen
Caroline. The text is taken from Psalm 45 and from the
Book of the Prophet Isaiah. The second movement deals
with the KingÆs daughters and is a study in Baroque
femininity, graceful and coquettish.

Overture to Atalanta: Andante
This work, although really an opera overture, could be
termed a trumpet concerto. Its form û a French overture
comprising a slow section in majestic dotted rhythms and
a fast fugal section plus a graceful dance movement û was
to become the model for English trumpet concertos written
by the next generation of composers.
Track 14
Athalia: Joys, in gentle trains
Athalia was written in 1733 and the first performance
took place in Oxford. It was an event of some
magnificence with seventy performers and novel
instrumental effects. The work is HandelÆs third oratorio
and as with the earlier Esther, the text is a version of
the play of the same name by Jean Racine by the
librettist Samuel Humphreys. The strongly drawn
characters, the dramatic elements of the libretto and
their musical treatment are all of great importance in
the development of oratorio. The work focuses on the
struggle between the Jews and Athalia, who has turned
away from God. This duet takes almost at the very end of
the work, as Judah has triumphed over Athalia, and the
devout Joad and Josabeth assure one another of their
mutual affection and give themselves over to the joy of
the harvest festival.

Track 18
Rinaldo: Lascia chÆio pianga
Handel was engaged to provide London with its first
Italian opera and in 1711 Rinaldo was staged. The
libretto is derived from TassoÆs poem on the CrusadersÆ
liberation of Jerusalem. RinaldoÆs sweetheart Almirena,
who has been taken prisoner by RinaldoÆs pagan enemies,
laments her fate in Lascia chÆio pianga which translates
as æLet me WeepÆ.
