George Frideric Handel (Friday, 23 February 1685 -- Saturday, 14 April 1759) was a German-born Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios and concerti grossi. Born as Georg Friedrich Händel in Halle, he spent most of his adult life in England, becoming a subject of the British crown on 22 January 1727. His most famous works are Messiah, an oratorio set to texts from the King James Bible; Water Music; and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Strongly influenced by the techniques of the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the English composer Henry Purcell, his music was known to many significant composers who came after him, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.Esther (HWV 50) is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel and is generally acknowledged to be the first English oratorio. Handel set a libretto by John Arbuthnot and Alexander Pope after the Old Testament drama by Jean Racine. It is a relatively short (1 hr. 40 min.) work compared to Handel's later oratorios.ORATORIO 'ESTHER' HWV 50Accompagnato :Priest :Jehovah crown'd with glory bright,Surrounded with eternal light,Whose ministers are flames of fire:Arise, and execute thine ire!Chorus of Israelites :He comes, He comes to end our woes,And pour His vengeance on our foes.Earth trembles, lofty mountains nod!Jacob, arise to meet thy God!He comes, He comes to end our woes,And pour His vengeance on our foes.Performed :Ian PartridgeDavid ThomasDrew MinterAndrew KingPaul ElliottPatrizia KwellaEmma KirkbyRichard WistreichAnthony Rolfe JohnsonWestminster Cathedral Boys ChoirThe Academy of Ancient MusicDir : Christopher Hogwood [ More Detail ]

Completed in 1824, the Ninth Symphony is one of the best known works of the Western repertoire, considered both an icon and a forefather of Romantic music, and one of Beethoven's greatest masterpieces.Symphony No. 9 incorporates part of the Ode an die Freude ("Ode to Joy"), a poem by Friedrich Schiller, with text sung by soloists and a chorus in the last movement.It is the first example of a major composer using the human voice on the same level with instruments in a symphony, creating a work of a grand scope that set the tone for the Romantic symphonic form.Beethoven changes the usual pattern of Classical symphonies in placing the scherzo movement before the slow movement (in symphonies, slow movements are usually placed before scherzos). This was the first time that he did this in a symphony, although he had done so in some previous works (including the quartets Op. 18 nos. 4 and 5, the "Archduke" piano trio Op. 97, the "Hammerklavier" piano sonata Op. 106). Haydn, too, had used this arrangement in a number of works.*Visit for more:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_%28Beethoven%29 [ More Detail ]
