This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... grief--as in Armida's great Aria, in Rinaldo--he uses the Minor Third; but never, when the sadness to be depicted springs from the calm affliction of a well-regulated mind. And yet, the simple Chords of the Dead March speak of sorrow infinitely deeper than that felt by the Paynim Sorceress: and David, in the tender strains of 'In sweetest harmony, ' can scarcely sing for sobbing. Handel originally intended to combine the several Movements of the Funeral Anthem with this portion of the Oratorio, and has actually written the words of it, between some fragments of Recitative, in the autograph Score. But, it is far better as it is: and when, in ' Gird on thy sword, ' the Chorus call upon David to play the man, we feel that all that can be said upon the subject has been said. The first performance of Saul took place at the King's Theatre, on the 16th of January, 1739. The next great Oratorio, Israel in Egypt, was constructed upon a different plan, the words being selected entirely from Holy Scripture, and arranged upon the plan of an Epic Poem. The entire absence of the personal element led Handel to illustrate this striking subject in a series of gigantic Double Choruses, built on a more colossal scale than any he had hitherto produced. But, this mode of enforcing the meaning of the sacred text by no means excluded the descriptive element. Many of the huge eight-part Choruses depict the Scenes to which they refer with irresistible power; and even the Solo passages are highly picturesque, in the noblest sense of the word. The wail of the Children of Israel beneath the oppressor's rod; the once bright Nile, now rolling downwards in waves of loathsome gore; the clammy reptiles, forcing their repulsive presence into the King's chambers; the myriad.

In 1712, a young German composer followed his princely master to London and would remain there for the rest of his life. That master would become King George II and the composer was George Freidrich Handel. Handel, then still only twenty-seven and largely self-taught, would be at the heart of music activity in London for the next four decades, composing masterpiece after masterpiece, whether the glorious coronation anthem, Zadok the Priest, operas such as Rinaldo and Alcina or the great oratorios, culminating, of course, in Messiah. Here, Jane Glover, who has conducted Handel’s work in opera houses and concert halls throughout the world, draws on her profound understanding of music and musicians to tell Handel’s story. It is a story of music-making and musicianship, but also of courts and cabals of theatrical rivalries and of eighteenth-century society. It is also, of course the story of some of the most remarkable music ever written, music that has been played and sung, and loved, in this country—and throughout the world—for three hundred years.

Jonathan Keates original biography of Handel was hailed as a masterpiece on its publication in 1985. This fully revised and updated new edition - published to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the composers death - charts in detail Handel's life, from his youth in Germany, through his brilliantly successful Italian sojourn, to the opulence and squalor of Georgian London where he made his permanent home. For over two decades Handel was absorbed in London's heady but precarious operatic world. But even his phenomenal energy and determination could not overcome the public's growing indifference to Italian opera in the 1730s, and he turned finally to oratorio, a genre which he made peculiarly his own and in which he created some of his finest works, such as Saul, Messiah, Belshazzar and Jephtha. Over the last two decades a complete revolution in Handel's status has taken place. He is now seen both as a titanic figure in music, whose compositions have found a permanent place in the international repertoire, and as one of the world's favourite composers, with snatches of his work accompanying weddings, funerals and television commercials the world over. Skillfully interwoven with the account of Handel's life are commentaries on all his major works, as well as many less familiar pieces by this most inventive, expressive and captivating of composers. Handel was an extraordinary genius whose career abounded in reversals that would have crushed anyone with less resilience and will power, and Jonathan Keates writes about his life and work with sympathy and scrutiny.

George Gershwin couldn't seem to stay out of trouble when he was a boy. He was a tough kid who got in a lot of fights and frequently skipped school. When his family bought a piano, his life was transformed. He quickly mastered the instrument, and then dropped out of school when he was fifteen to become a musician. Within a year, he had sold his first song. When he was 20, he wrote his first big hit. Five years after that, Rhapsody in Blue catapulted him to international fame. With his brother Ira as lyricist, George went on to compose some of the most famous musicals of the twentieth century, and he wrote several movie scores.?
