From the Publisher

Handel was a composer who always kept on eye on the prevailing taste, political currents and latest fashion. This awareness is seen in both the Italian and English influences in his compositions with much of his music showing regal and festive characteristics. In this book you will find twelve delightful pieces from well-known works such as the Water Music, Royal Fireworks and the Messiah. The audio recordings are available online in MP3 format and provide complete versions of each piece together with a version with the solo part missing.
