Händel's musical talent was evident from a young age, and despite his father's initial opposition, he received early musical training and excelled in playing the harpsichord and organ.
In his early 20s, Händel traveled to Hamburg, where he immersed himself in the opera scene. There, he composed his first operas and gained recognition for his talent. Seeking further inspiration and opportunities, Händel journeyed to Italy in 1706, where he studied under renowned composers and absorbed the rich musical traditions of the country. During his time in Italy, he composed numerous operas and sacred music, establishing his reputation as a skilled composer.
In 1710, Händel settled in London, England, where he initially composed Italian operas for the Royal Academy of Music. However, as public taste changed, he transitioned to composing English-language oratorios, which combined elements of opera and sacred music. His oratorio "Esther" in 1718 marked the beginning of his success in this genre.
Händel's fame soared with his composition of the oratorio "Messiah" in 1741. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, "Messiah" eventually became one of the most beloved and frequently performed works in the Western classical repertoire. Händel's oratorios, including "Samson," "Judas Maccabaeus," and "Israel in Egypt," showcased his ability to blend grandeur, emotional depth, and dramatic storytelling.
Beyond oratorios, Händel composed instrumental music, including concertos and orchestral suites. His famous "Water Music" and "Music for the Royal Fireworks" exemplify his skill in crafting joyful and celebratory compositions. Händel's works exhibited a mastery of counterpoint, rich harmonies, and expressive melodies, earning him admiration and patronage from British nobility and royalty.
In his later years, Händel faced financial struggles and health issues, including a gradual loss of vision. However, he continued to compose prolifically, adapting to changing musical trends. Despite setbacks, his final oratorio, "Jephtha," was completed in 1751.
Georg Friedrich Händel passed away on April 14, 1759, leaving behind an immense musical legacy. His compositions played a crucial role in shaping the development of Western classical music, and his influence extended to composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. Händel's music continues to be celebrated for its grandeur, emotional depth, and timeless beauty, ensuring his enduring status as one of the greatest composers in history.

Zu Händels "Feuerwerksmusik":
Die "Music for the Royal Fireworks" (HWV 351) ist ein 1748 von Georg Friedrich Händel komponiertes Werk. Das Werk wurde am 27. April 1749 bei einem Feuerwerk uraufgeführt. Es ist eine Gelegenheitsmusik von gigantischem Ausmaß
Wie auch die Wassermusik ist die Feuerwerksmusik durch Zufälle in der Politik entstanden. Der britische König Georg II. wollte wegen des im Oktober 1748 geschlossenen Aachener Friedens zur Beendigung des Österreichischen Erbfolgekriegs eine riesige Feier mit großem Feuerwerk und Musik. Er beauftragte Händel damit, eine „Feuer-Musik" für den festlichen Anlass zu schreiben. Das gab dem Stück den englischen Originaltitel Music for the Royal Fireworks.
Die Feier sollte im Londoner Green Park stattfinden, daher ging Händel von einem großen Freiluft-Orchester mit einer typischen Bläser-Streicher-Besetzung aus. König Georg jedoch wollte ein Orchester ausschließlich mit Bläsern und Pauken. Händel aber wollte auch Streicher dazu haben.
Aus den Briefen des Grafen von Montague vom April 1749 geht hervor, dass sich Händel erst ganz spät dem Willen des Königs gebeugt hatte.

Georg Friedrich Haendel
ou Händel (George Frideric Handel en anglais, comme il l'écrivait lui-même)
Compositeur allemand, devenu sujetbritannique,
né le 23 février 1685 à Halle
Décédé le 14 avril 1759 à Londres.
Haendel personnifie souvent de nos jours l'apogée de la musique baroque aux côtés de Jean Sébastien Bach2,3. Né et formé en Saxe4, installé quelques mois à Hambourg avant un séjour initiatique et itinérant de trois ans en Italie, revenu brièvement à Hanovre avant de s'établir définitivement en Angleterre, il réalisa dans son œuvre une synthèse magistrale des traditions musicales de l'Allemagne, de l'Italie, de la France et de l'Angleterre5,6.
Virtuose hors pair à l'orgue et au clavecin, Haendel dut à quelques œuvres très connues notamment l'oratorio Le Messie, ses concertos pour orgue et concertos grossos, ses suites pour le clavecin, ses musiques de plein air (Water Music et Music for the Royal Fireworks) de conserver une notoriété active pendant tout le xixe siècle, période d'oubli pour la plupart de ses contemporains. Cependant, pendant plus de trente-cinq ans, il se consacra pour l'essentiel à l'opéra en italien (plus de 40 partitions d'opera seria ), avant d'inventer et promouvoir l'oratorio en anglais dont il est un des maîtres incontestés
Son nom peut se trouver sous plusieurs graphies : en allemand, Händel peut aussi s'écrire Haendel (le « e » remplaçant l'umlaut, orthographe souvent préférée en français) et, après son installation en Angleterre, lui-même l'écrivait sans tréma : Handel, qui est la manière retenue par les anglophones.
