Composer
Georg Friedrich Händel
| 1685-1759George 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.

Georg Friedrich Händel: Neun deutsche Arien
Ganz kurz: Ewiges Leben sowie Lob des Schöpfers und der Schöpfung sind die Themen der im Wesentlichen geistlichen Texte von B. H. Brockes. Herrliche, geradezu bezaubernde Musik für Sopran, obligates Instrument (Violine, Oboe, Flöte al gusto) und Basso continuo. Die (längst fällige!) kritisch-korrekte Neuausgabe enthält in der Vorrede detaillierte Hinweise zur Entstehung. Die sinnige B.c.-Aussetzung stammt von Siegfried Petrenz.
Eine Aufführung - ganz oder in Auswahl (die Arien wurden nicht als Zyklus konzipiert), liturgisch oder konzertant, öffentlich oder auch privat - ist wirklich äußerst zu empfehlen!
