Georg Friedrich Händel (short bio)

George Friedrich Handel (Georg Friedrich Händel in German) (February 23, 1685 – April 14, 1759) was a German-born English composer of learned baroque music. Most of his life he lived in Great Britain.

He was born in the city of Halle, located in the central east of present-day Germany. His father was a barber and surgeon and had decided that his son would be a lawyer, but when he observed Händel’s interest in music, which he studied and practiced in secret, he changed his mind and was willing to pay for his music studies. In this way, Händel became a student of Halle’s leading organist, Friedrich Wilhelm Zachau. At the age of 17 he was appointed organist of the Calvinist cathedral of Halle.

After a year, Händel traveled to Hamburg, where he was admitted as a violin and harpsichord player in the opera orchestra. Shortly thereafter, in 1705, his work Almira was premiered in that same place, and shortly after Nero. The following year, he accepted an invitation to travel to Italy, where he spent more than three years. In Italy, his works were performed in Florence, Rome, Naples and Venice, and at the same time Handel wrote new music, inspired by the music of that country. Above all, he studied and perfected the way of combining his music with Italian texts. Thanks to the high quality of his performances, he met important Italian musicians and composers of the time, such as Scarlatti, Corelli and Marcello.

In 1710, Handel returned from Italy and became the conductor of the Hanover court. A year later his work Rinaldo premiered in London with considerable success. In view of this, in 1712 Händel decided to settle in England. There he was commissioned to create a royal opera house, which would also be known as the Royal Academy of Music. Handel wrote 14 operas for that institution between 1720 and 1728, which made him famous throughout Europe.

In 1727, Handel became a British citizen, changing the way he spelled his name to “George Frideric Handel.”

Starting in 1740, Händel dedicated himself to composing oratorios, including The Messiah, which in the 19th century would become the choral work par excellence. In 1751, Handel lost his sight while composing the oratorio Jefta. He died in London aged 74.

Handel composed 32 oratorios, 40 operas, numerous music pieces for masses, 110 cantatas, 20 concertos, 39 sonatas, fugues and suites, and other orchestral works.
