George Frideric Handel was born and educated in Germany, flourished in Italy, and chose to become British. One of the most cosmopolitan great composers, some of Handel's music has remained in the popular repertory since his lifetime, and a broad variety of his theatre works, from Italian operas to English oratorios, has experienced a dramatic renaissance since the late twentieth century. A large number of publications devoted to Handel's life and music have appeared from his own time until the present day, but The Cambridge Handel Encyclopedia is the first resource to gather the full range of present knowledge and leading new scholarship into a single volume for convenient and illuminating reference.
Contains well over 700 entries written by a broad group of 88 international scholars, with a Foreword by Christopher Hogwood ; Covers all aspects of Handel's life and works, including entries on all of his operas, oratorios and major works, people he knew and was influenced by, and important places in his life ; Entries range from fascinating short summaries to detailed research articles ; Presents a wide range of supplementary information, including a fully comprehensive family tree of the composer and his ancestors, a new fully revised worklist and a survey of 50 modern Handel performers ; Ideal for performers, scholars, students and music-lovers who wish to explore the Handelian world.
