Opis
Streszczenie:"This full-length study of Handel's English church music, deals with the many aspects of the compositions themselves, it traces the background to the diverse items in the repertory, which relates directly to Handel's constant but changing relationship with the Hanoverian British royal family, and was affected by political and dynastic events. It also examines the circumstances of Handel's performances, the buildings which still survive in London today".--[back cover].
