Georg Friedrich HÄNDEL (1685-1759)
Georg Friedrich HÄNDEL (February 23, 1685 – April 14, 1759) was a German-born British Baroque composer who was a leading composer of concerti grossi, operas and oratorios. Born in Halle as Georg Friedrich Händel, he dwelt during most of his adult life in England, becoming a subject of the British crown on January 22, 1727. His most famous works are Messiah, an oratorio set to texts from the King James Bible, Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Drawing on the techniques of the great composers of the Italian Baroque, as well as the music of Henry PURCELL, he deeply influenced in his turn many composers who came after him, including HAYDN, MOZART, and BEETHOVEN, and his work helped lead the transition from the Baroque to the Classical era.
