HANDEL, Georg FriedrichAlthough he was not encouraged by his family, Handel managed to learn oboe, violin, organ, harpsichord, and composition as well as some law. He stayed in various cities in Europe like Hamburg, Lubeck and Venice for a short time. In Hanover he was appointed Kapellmeister to the court but soon traveled and stayed in London as in 1714 the Elector of Hanover became King George I of England. He was very successful in Britain and when he died he was buried in Westminster Abbey. "The wide range of expression at his command is shown not only in the operas [he composed], with their rich and varied arias, but also in the form he created, the English oratorio, where it is applied to the fates of nations as well as individuals. He had a vivid sense of drama. But above all he had a resource and originality of invention, to be seen in the extraordinary variety of music in the op.6 concertos, for example, in which melodic beauty, boldness and humour all play a part, that place him and J. S. Bach as the supreme masters of the Baroque era in music."
