| Born at Halle in the heart of Sachsen-Anhalt, Handel did the rounds of the great Italian cities, where, in his search for wealth and glory between 1706 and 1709, he met the most celebrated masters, before leaving to conquer London, where he settled for good in 1712. His long stay in Italy had a decisive influence on his art and style. In England, where Italian music was very much in vogue, he revealed Italian opera to an enthusiastic public which had already been won over by the concertos of composers such as Corelli, Albinoni and Vivaldi. Handel himself composed two sets of concerti grossi, Op.3 and Op.6, which stand at the apex of a long tradition. Written in the glorious wake of Corelli and Torelli, the Op.3 concertos were published in London in 1734. Handel uses other instruments as well as strings, and within the rather rigid framework of the concerto grosso he achieves an astonishing diversity, blending high spirits and expressivity. Following a procedure widespread at a time when composers who were much in demand had to write in haste to comply with commissions, he recycles movements from previous works, for church or stage, adapting them for different forces. |
