Unimusic Academy (Academia Unimusica) #1421582. Published by Unimusic Academy (Academia Unimusica) (A0.1862064).George Frideric Handel (or Frederick) Handel (Halle, Brandenburg, Prussia; February 23/March 5, 1685 – London; April 14, 1761) was a German composer, later naturalized British. He is considered one of the leading figures in the history of music, especially Baroque music, and one of the most influential composers of Western and universal music. In the history of music, he is the first modern composer to have adapted and focused his music to satisfy the tastes and needs of the public, rather than those of the nobility and patrons, as was customary.
[1] Considered the successor and continuator of Henry Purcell,[3] he marked an entire era in English music.[4] For several experts, he is the first great master of music based on the technique of homophony[5] and the greatest within the realm of Italian opera seria,[6] and for some even in oratorio, surpassing Johann Sebastian Bach.[7]
His musical legacy, a synthesis of German, Italian, French, and English styles from the first half of the 18th century, includes works in virtually every genre of his time, with 42 operas, 24 oratorios (among them Messiah), and a choral legacy being the most outstanding and important parts of his musical output. His work spans, chronologically, the Baroque and the beginnings of the Classical periods.
