Italian opera was a leisure activity enjoyed and funded principally by the aristocracy, and for all their critical successes Handel’s operas were not seen by large numbers of people. In the end, though, he had to give it up. He was brilliant at it too among the 40-or-so operas he composed for the London stage are some of the greatest ever written, in which he demonstrated a supreme talent for the portrayal of human character and the depiction of deep emotion, together with a skill in vocal melody-writing that covered everything from the showy to the profound. Not only that, but he formed his musical personality as a young man in Italy and arrived in London in 1710 with the express intention of making his name in a distinctly foreign-sounding form of entertainment – opera in Italian. Yet its composer was a German, born Georg Friedrich Händel in the Saxon town of Halle. Choral societies perform it to willing audiences at Christmas and Easter, the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus is sung at football grounds to ribald new lyrics, and the roof of the Royal Albert Hall is periodically tested by the rising air from several thousand enthusiastic amateurs giving it their all in a ‘Messiah from Scratch’.
Handel’s Messiah has become one of the major icons in the musical life of this country. He died in 1759, and his funeral at Westminster Abbey was attended by over 3,000 people.
While he was writing this work, Handel became blind, first in his left eye and then totally. His performances of Messiah became a regular feature of London life in 1749 he composed his Music for the Royal Fireworks, and in 1752 he composed his last oratorio, the masterful Jephtha. He was nonetheless unsure of his future, and after the first performance of his Messiah in Dublin in 1742 he concentrated on oratorios, all performed in English and often including a concerto grosso performance in the interval. Handel became a British citizen in 1727 and he remained in London, putting on operas and writing music for King and court. During the next few years London heard some of his best works, including the operas Giulio Cesare and Rodelinda and music for the Chapel Royal. In 1717 he entered the service of the soon-to-be Duke of Chandos. The same year he was also awarded a royal pension, and in 1714, after the death of Queen Anne, he found himself in the service of his old master, now King. Once in Hanover, however, he applied for leave to go to England, and spent most of the next few years in London, where his opera Rinaldo was produced in 1711. In 1706 he was invited to Italy, and several major Italian cities saw performances of his works before he left in 1710 for the court of the Elector of Hanover (later King George I of England).
At 17 he was appointed organist of Halle Cathedral, but the following year left for Hamburg, where he played in the opera orchestra and, in 1704, had his first opera Almira performed.
His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but after George showed musical aptitude (he practised in secret), he was allowed to study music formally.
