A.3&A 1965 This sculpture of composer GeorgeFridericHandel 1685 1759 is by Louis Fran ois Roubiliac 1702 1762 . It was commissioned by the impresario Jonathan Tyers for his famous pleasure gardens at Vauxhall. Handel is shown in the guise of Orpheus , holding a lyre. Despite the classical allusion, he wears informal contemporary dress a soft cap, a long shirt open at the neck, a full loose gown, and slippers, one of which lies beneath his right foot. His post is also casual. He is seated cross legged, leaning on a pile of bound scores of his works, including Alexander s Feast Handel Alexander s Feast which was completed the same month the statue was finished. The statue is unprecedented, for not only was the sitter portrayed with startling informality, but it was the first life size marble depicting a living artist. Until this date such public statues were erected only for monarchs, noblemen or military leaders. Roubiliac was a native of France, although his known surviving work was executed in England. Handel is his earliest known independent sculpture. When it went on display in Vauxhall Gardens in 1738 it proved an immediate success, helping to establish Roubiliac as one of the leading sculptors in England. Roubiliac was trained in Lyon, later working in Dresden under a leading Baroque sculpture, Balthasar Permoser 1651 1732 , and then studying in Paris before moving to London in about 1730. All his known surviving works were executed in Britain. He specialised in portrait busts and funerary monuments, and was renowned for his handling of marble, particularly his creation of subtle surface textures.

The Almira transcription is noted by critics as one of the most striking of Liszt s late concert arrangements as well as his only setting of a baroque piece from Late works Liszt his late period . Liszt s decision to set Handel was probably due at least in part to please British audiences, for whom Handel was still the preeminent national composer and before whom Bache would likely appear. ref name baker103 Baker, 103. ref Nevertheless, the choice of subject matter was surprising, not only by being Handel instead of Johann Sebastian Bach Bach but also from being taken from a Handel opera which was virtually ignored at the time. ref name how7 Howard, 7. ref In his most recent baroque transcription prior to Almira , that of Bach s Great Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542 Fantasie and Fugue in G Minor BWV 542 dating from 1867, Liszt follows the original almost exactly.

Orphan date November 2011 Refimprove date January 2012 Italic title Germanico is an opera in two acts, to a libretto of unknown authorship, which is ascribed to George Frideric Handel on the sole source, a copyist s manuscript in the library of the Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini in Florence . The ascription to Handel is in the same hand that copied the music, suggesting it was contemporary with the writing of the score. It was discovered in 2007 by the conductor and scholar Ottaviano Tenerani ref http www.sonymasterworks.eu germanico microsite about.html Germanico at Sony Masterworks ref and has been recorded by Deutsche Harmonia Mundi EAN 886978604521 . The work appears to be authentic and to date from the earliest phase of Handel s sojourn in Italy, probably around 1708, leading to claims that it was Handel s first Italian opera. Despite the division into two acts, the work is described on the manuscript as a Serenata , and it lacks the drama of convcentional opera seria . Instead it is a work of rejoicing and prophecy, based around the historical figure of Germanicus Caesar and his victory over the German chieftain Arminius . Another character is Germanico s wife Agrippina the Elder interestingly they were the parents of Agrippina the Younger , who is the central protagonist of Handel s later Italian opera Agrippina opera Agrippina of 1710.

It consisted of a small console consisting of two microphones, lights and gauges. The reason behind this was to provide a back up if anything failed. If an enemy air strike was detected, a key on the left hand side of the console would be turned and two lights would come on. Then the operator would press & hold down a red button and give the message ATTACK WARNING RED ATTACK WARNING RED The message would be sent to the police by the telephone carrier wave frequencies used for the speaking clock , who would in turn activate the air attack sirens using the local telephone lines. The rationale was to kill two birds with one stone, as it reduced running costs it would most likely be used only once in its working life, though it was regularly tested and the telephone lines were under constant test by sharing with a public service.

Handel s second most famous chorus, See the Conq ring Hero Comes was first penned for Joshua. It was an immensely popular number and Handel soon added it to Judas Maccabaeus oratorio Judas Maccabaeus , which had premiered the season before. The chorus is more often thought of in connection with that oratorio Judas because of its relatively greater fame.

All but one of the movements were taken from the extended overture to Handel s first Italian opera Rodrigo opera Rodrigo . The overture introduced the play and the other movements were used to fill the gaps between acts. The incidental music was published in full a few months after the first performance however, it is unlikely that Handel received any payment for either the performance or publication of the music. It is likely that the work was the first of Handel s music to be performed in England. A typical performance takes almost 15 minutes.

It began as a masque HWV 50a , composed early in Handel s English career, and before the body of his success as an opera composer. It was first composed and performed, probably, at Cannons house Cannons , where the James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos Duke of Chandos employed Handel in 1718 as resident composer writing for his patron s singers and small orchestra. Little is known about this first version of Esther . It had a few other private performances but otherwise remained untouched for more than a decade thereafter. Oratorio 1732 In 1731, Handel had different needs since public tastes were changing. London s most famous and popular composer of Italian operas was finding the enthusiasm of his audience for the genre to be waning.
