Handel
|
|
|
|
George Frideric Handel was born in Halle, Germany, on February
|
|
23, 1685. He died in London on April 14,1759 and was buried in
|
|
Westminister Abbey. Handel was one of the famous composers of the
|
|
Baroque Period. This great composer was mostly known very well for his
|
|
English Oratorio, particularly the Messiah. His trouble in his operas
|
|
that he made lied within his uncertain temper and uncertain lack of
|
|
tact.
|
|
|
|
Handel first learned how to play from an instrument called a
|
|
clavichord. This was like a forerunner of the piano. With the help of one
|
|
of Handel's friend, they smuggled the instrument up to his attic in his
|
|
house. Every night he would sneak up to the attic after everyone was asleep
|
|
and he'd play it until he finally mastered it. The instrument could not be
|
|
heard through the closed doors. When he was about twelve, he went to Berlin
|
|
to study and while there he became well-known for playing the Harpsichord.
|
|
Handel's parents wanted Handel to grow up in the profession of law, but
|
|
music was in Handel's blood. When Handel's father soon realized this, he
|
|
sent Handel away to study in Berlin. In Berlin, Handel was taught under the
|
|
great composer Frideric Wilhelm Zachau.
|
|
|
|
One of the great influences on Handle was while he was writing the
|
|
Messiah in three weeks. Handle, before writing the Messiah, had rented a
|
|
theatre for his own use, and though he had some successes, he had more
|
|
failures. He was bankrupt twice through his opera business. If Handel had
|
|
been more successful with his with his operas, we would never have had the
|
|
grand oratorios for which his name is most famous for now. This is because
|
|
when he had exhausted himself with the operas, he started to make the
|
|
oratorios. He was the director of music in Italy for several years and he
|
|
was a composer of the Italian style music in England and even absorbed the
|
|
characteristics of English music especially English Choral Music.
|
|
|
|
Like was said before, Handel wrote many oratorios and operas. He didn't
|
|
have many famous operas, but he had some. Some of his operas are: Giulio
|
|
Casare, Tamerlano, Orlando, Alcina, and Serse. He had many different
|
|
oratorios though. Of the many, his one that he is most famous for is the
|
|
Messiah for it is not so much dramatic as Meditative. I have included a few
|
|
pages from his play Israel in Egypt. The most famous instrument of his time
|
|
was a mixture of things, but he preferred the Violin while making the
|
|
operas and oratorios.
|
|
|
|
My impression on Handel is that he was a very creative person always
|
|
thinking up new and recent ideas for his time. I would have liked to live
|
|
his life because he was able to sneak up to his attic late at night and
|
|
because he made some very famous plays which are being revived and the
|
|
oratorios like Messiah which are being said every Christmas by some family.
|
|
Handel was probably inspired to write that wonderful music was heroic
|
|
historical figures for the plays and the Bible for the oratorios. I admired
|
|
Handel for his will to keep on making music after so many people made fun
|
|
of him with this song:
|
|
|
|
" Some say, compared to Buononcini "
|
|
" That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny; "
|
|
" Others aver that he to Handel "
|
|
" Is scarcely fit to hold a candle. "
|
|
" Strange all this difference should be "
|
|
" 'Twixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. "
