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. In charting Handel's activities and the performance and reception of his music during his lifetime, the documents also offer valuable insights into broader eighteenth-century topics such as court life, theatrical history, public concerts and music publishing. Volume Four begins with the re-establishment of Handel's career in London following his return from Dublin in 1742, and covers the period to 1750 which saw the composition of a succession of his greatest English works for his oratorio seasons, including Samson, Semele, Belshazzar, Juda Maccabaeus and Solomon.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The documents: 1742–50\u003cbr\u003e 1742–3\u003cbr\u003e 1743–4\u003cbr\u003e 1744–5\u003cbr\u003e 1745–6\u003cbr\u003e 1746–7\u003cbr\u003e 1747–8\u003cbr\u003e 1748–9\u003cbr\u003e 1749–50\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: 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]\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":46002482741528,"sku":"9781107080218","price":146.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781107080218i.jpg?v=1694545997","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/george-frideric-handel-volume-4-1742-1750-collected-documents-hardback-9781107080218","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
