Con Certgebouw Cahier
CONCERTGEBOUWCAHIER Georg Friedrich HÄNDEL — Ignace Bossuyt Voorwoord Beste lezer, In 2009 wordt Georg Friedrich Händel herdacht, 250 jaar na zijn over- lijden. Voor het Concertgebouw is deze herdenking een ideaal aan- knopingspunt voor een festival en een publicatie rond dit boegbeeld uit de barokperiode. In dit tweede Concertgebouwcahier wordt het veelzijdige en muzikaal hoogstaande oeuvre van Händel in zijn context geplaatst. De kosmopoliet Händel assimileerde de Duitse en Italiaanse muzikale praxis en ontpopte zich in Londen tot een ongeëvenaarde componist van - vooral - opera's en oratoria. Als zelfbewuste kunste- naar die zich erg onafhankelijk opstelde, was hij zowel componist als manager. De ‘ups en downs’ die hiermee gepaard gingen, maken van zijn levensloop een intrigerend verhaal. De uitgebreide en overzichtelijke biografie biedt een inkijk in het leven en de carrière van Georg Friedrich Händel. In een tweede deel worden de belangrijkste genres beknopt besproken. De evolutie en de stijl van Händels composities worden aan de hand van enkele representatieve voorbeelden concreet belicht. De keuze voor Ignace Bossuyt als auteur was een evidentie. Ignace Bossuyt wakkert al decennialang het muzikale vuur aan bij melomanen, niet alleen als wetenschapper en docent, maar ook als auteur en inlei- der. Zijn gedrevenheid en talent om het muzikale repertoire krachtig en helder toe te lichten, spreekt uit elke pagina. Dit cahier is dan ook een ideaal vertrekpunt om de muziek van Georg Friedrich Händel voor een breed publiek te ontsluiten. Deze introductie wil vooral ook een stimulans zijn om de platgetreden paden van het 'populaire' Händel- repertoire te verlaten en in het schitterende oeuvre van Händel nieuwe horizonten te ontdekken. -
Of Handel, London Trumpeters, and Trumpet Music
1 OF HANDEL, LONDON TRUMPETERS, AND TRUM- PET MUSIC DONALD BURROWS The publication of Handel’s Trumpeter: the Diary of John Grano1 provides a useful op- portunity to review a number of issues concerning Handel, his trumpet music, and the professional circumstances of those who played it in London. It has to be said fi rst of all that Handel’s Trumpeter has no fi rst-hand anecdotes of meetings with the composer: the nearest we came to this are some encounters with his principal music copyist (and probably orchestral manager) John Christopher Smith the elder. Nor are there any fi rst-hand refer- ences to performances under the composer’s direction, for this is the journal of the sixteen months beginning on 30 May 1728 during which Grano was living “under the Rules” in the Marshalsea Prison, Southwark, to which he had been committed for debt. “Imprison- ment” does not seem to be quite the appropriate word for the curious world that the diary describes: although confi nement was one aspect of the regime, debtors who were able to live on the “Master’s side” of the prison had considerable freedom both in their social ar- rangements and in the liberty they had, under certain conditions, to pass considerable parts of the daytime in the outside world. Thus, although there are predictable social problems with the fellow-prisoners with whom Grano is thrown into close proximity, he sustains the fl ame of his professional skills and dignity, maintaining contact with other leading performers, preserving his technique by regular practice (his habit of doing so between 6 and 8 AM probably did not help his social relationships), taking pupils which he taught at the prison, composing new music and writing out performing parts, arranging (as far as was practicable) benefi t concerts for himself, and performing in a variety of events. -
A Guide to Handel's London in Germany, Lived in Italy for Four Years, and Made London His Home by Carol J
Preface George Frideric Handel was born A Guide to Handel's London in Germany, lived in Italy for four years, and made London his home by Carol J. Schaub for the last fifty years of his life. With musical traditions firmly established in many European cities, why did Handel choose London?

The Royal Music Library and Its Handel Collection
The Royal Music Library and its Handel Collection Donald Burrows The year 2007 saw several round-figure anniversaries of events associated with Handel’s music, most obviously those of his first and last oratorios – Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (1707) and its final English version as The Triumph of Time and Truth (1757) – but also that of the first Crystal Palace Handel Festival (1857). Rather less obvious, because it does not relate so directly to Handel’s career or to performances of his music, was the anniversary of the presentation of the Royal Music Library to the Trustees of the British Museum by Queen Elizabeth II, announced on 27 November 1957. Her Majesty’s gift commemorated the two hundredth anniversary of a similar occurrence in 1757, when King George II had given the Old Royal Library to the newly-established British Museum. The Royal Music Library has one of the major collections of source material for Handel’s music, in particular because it includes ninety-six volumes of his musical autographs. There are other important items as well, but it is the autographs that render the Royal Music Library collection indispensable to scholarly work on nearly every one of Handel’s compositions: in addition to their musical content, the pages of the autographs have many details that provide striking images of the composer’s activity (see figs 1-3).1 Before the twentieth century a few favoured musicians and scholars visited the Royal Music Library at various times, and it is perhaps not surprising that the best evidence for such visits comes in connection with references to Handel’s autographs. -
