This multi-volume major publication is the most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of these documents. Presented chronologically in their original languages with English translations and with commentaries incorporating the results of recent research, the documents provide an essential and accessible resource for anyone interested in Handel and his music. As well as being an outstanding musician with a successful career as a composer of Italian operas and English oratorios, Handel was a well-known figure in his own lifetime, with an international reputation. In charting his activities in Germany, Italy and Britain, the documents also offer a valuable insight into broader eighteenth-century topics, such as court life, theatrical history, public concerts and competition between music publishers. This volume includes family documents from Halle, then covers Handel's early career in Germany and Italy, followed by the period in which he became an established composer for London's Italian opera company while also writing the Water Music and the Utrecht Te Deum for the British court.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Documents: 1609–83\u003cbr\u003e 1685–99\u003cbr\u003e 1701–6\u003cbr\u003e 1706–7\u003cbr\u003e 1708\u003cbr\u003e 1709–10\u003cbr\u003e 1710–11\u003cbr\u003e 1711–12\u003cbr\u003e 1712–13\u003cbr\u003e 1713–14\u003cbr\u003e 1714–15\u003cbr\u003e 1715–16\u003cbr\u003e 1716–17\u003cbr\u003e 1717–18\u003cbr\u003e 1718–19\u003cbr\u003e 1719–20\u003cbr\u003e 1720–21\u003cbr\u003e 1721–22\u003cbr\u003e 1722–23\u003cbr\u003e 1723–24\u003cbr\u003e 1724–25\u003cbr\u003e Libraries and archives\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index of Handel's works\u003cbr\u003e Index of persons\u003cbr\u003e General index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Individual composers \u0026amp; musicians, specific bands \u0026amp; groups [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Individual composers \u0026amp; musicians, specific bands \u0026amp; groups\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Individual%20composers%20\u0026amp;%20musicians,%20specific%20bands%20\u0026amp;%20groups%20%5BAVH%5D%22\"\u003eAVH\u003c\/a\u003e], Baroque music [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Baroque music\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Baroque%20music%20%5Bc%201600%20to%20c%201750%5D%20%5BAVGC3%5D%22\"\u003ec 1600 to c 1750 AVGC3\u003c\/a\u003e], Music reviews \u0026amp; criticism [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Music reviews \u0026amp; criticism\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Music%20reviews%20\u0026amp;%20criticism%20%5BAVC%5D%22\"\u003eAVC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46003120439576,"sku":"9781107019539","price":161.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781107019539i_026376cb-ea9c-4520-8302-1e4f6af19649.jpg?v=1691361090","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/george-frideric-handel-volume-1-1609-1725-collected-documents-hardback-9781107019539","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
