Read and write feedback

Dixit Dominus is not only Handel’s first important church work, but it also exceeds the scope and design of both of his other Latin psalm settings. Although the exact time and occasion for the first performance is not clear, today the universality of this work make it ideal for use in festive worship services or in concerts.

With Dixit Dominus Handel’s complete Latin psalm settings are now available from Carus-Verlag in critical editions.

    Traduction (abrégée) : Jean Paul Ménière

    Haendel, né à Halle en 1685, reçut des leçons de l’organiste Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow alors qu’il fréquentait l’école de latin et commença d’abord par étudier le droit dans sa ville natale en 1702. Il y fut toutefois bientôt pris à l’essai comme organiste de la cathédrale. Cette période d’essai semble avoir conforté clairement ses plans professionnels. Il renonça à une carrière de musicien d’église et partit pour Hambourg où il devint violoniste dans l’orchestre de l’opéra dirigé par Reinhard Keiser. Les premiers opéras de Haendel furent eux aussi écrits durant les années passées à Hambourg. En 1706, le jeune compositeur partit pour l’Italie qui était alors La Mecque de tous les musiciens de l’époque. Ses talents de virtuose et de compositeur lui firent obtenir la faveur des nobles italiens, ce qui était fort important du point de vue matériel, et enthousiasma le monde musical.

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.149

    Katrin Bemmann
    Translation (abridged): John Coombs

    Handel, born in Halle in 1685, received organ lessons from Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow while still at school, and in 1702 he embarked upon the study of law at Halle University. Soon, however, he was engaged for a trial year as an organist at the Cathedral. During this probationary period he decided on the direction which he intended his career to take: he rejected the idea of remaining a church musician and instead went to Hamburg, where he played as a violinist in Reinhard Keiser’s opera orchestra. Handel’s first operas date from his years in Hamburg. In 1706 the young artist travelled to the mecca for all musicians at that time: to Italy. Both as a keyboard virtuoso and as a composer he won the support (very important, not least financially) of the Italian nobility, and the enthusiastic favour of the music world. Florence, Venice, Rome and Naples were

    Händel, 1685 in Halle geboren, erhielt während des Besuches der Lateinschule Unterricht durch den Organisten Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow und begann 1702 zunächst ein Jurastudium in seiner Heimatstadt. Schon bald wurde er hier jedoch für ein Probejahr als Organist an die Domkirche berufen. Diese Probezeit scheint seine beruflichen Pläne klar gefestigt zu haben - er entschied sich gegen die Laufbahn als Kirchenmusiker und ging nach Hamburg, wo er als Geiger in das Opernorchester Reinhard Keisers eintrat, aber auch als Cembalist und Organist in Erscheinung trat. Erste Opernkompositionen Händels entstanden ebenso in den Hamburger Jahren. 1706 begab sich der junge Künstler auf eine Reise ins Mekka aller Musiker jener Zeit: nach Italien. Als Virtuose und auch als Komponist eroberte er sich die (nicht zuletzt materiell sehr wichtige) Gunst der italienischen Adligen und die

  • George Frideric Handel put his exceptionally versatile compositional abilities to the test at an early age. After moving to London in 1712, where he was appointed Composer of Musick for His Majesty’s Chapel Royal in 1723, he wrote numerous masterpieces for the royal court as well as his major opere serie. For many years he enjoyed triumphant successes with his operas, which were sung by outstanding performers, with serenades, and later also with oratorios such as Saul and Israel in Egypt. Over the years Handel’s reputation grew far beyond the city where he worked; some of his choral works, particularly Messiah, have enjoyed a performance tradition which remains unbroken to this day, and are sung by choirs throughout the world.
