Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The life and career of George Frideric Handel, one of the most frequently performed Baroque composers, are thoroughly documented in a wide variety of contemporary sources. This multi-volume publication, the most up-to-date, fully annotated collection of these documents, presents them chronologically, providing an essential resource for anyone interested in Handel and his music. The collection also gives insights into broader topics such as court life, theatre history, public concerts, and music publishing. Volume 5 begins with the composition of Handel's last original scores for his London oratorio seasons The Choice of Hercules and Jephtha. The death of the Prince of Wales curtailed his 1751 season and deteriorating eyesight delayed the completion of Jephtha. Nevertheless, his annual Lenten oratorios and Messiah performances at the Foundling Hospital continued. At the same time, his music was increasingly heard in the provinces and referred to in the new literary genre of the novel. Handel's life and career are intricately documented in a wide range of contemporary sources. This six-volume publication presents a comprehensive, fully annotated collection of those documents in chronological order, with commentaries incorporating recent research. It is an essential resource for anyone studying Handel and his music. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
