Händel Georg Friedrich was a German-English Baroque composer, who became internationally famous for his operas, oratorios, and concerti grossi. Handel was born in 1685, at Halle in Germany, in the same year when Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti were born.
Händel composed many musical works after he was strongly influenced by the musical techniques of the great composers of the Italian Baroque era, as well as the English composer Henry Purcell. Later on he and his work became well-known to many composers, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. His most successful works include Messiah, Water Music, and Music for the Royal Fireworks.
Handel was naturally gifted composer and displayed his considerable musical talent at the age of seven. He was also a skillful performer on the harpsichord and pipe organ. Throughout his life, Handel composed 42 operas, 29 oratorios, more than 120 cantatas, trios, duets, numerous arias, chamber music, a large number of ecumenical pieces, odes, serenatas and sixteen organ concerti.
