Handel received im- portant training in Halle-upon-Saale and worked as a compos- er in Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712; he became a naturalised British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and by the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. Within fifteen years, Handel had started three commercial opera companies to supply the English nobility with Italian opera. Musicologist Winton Dean writes that his operas show that “Handel was not only a great composer; he was a dramatic genius of the first order.” As Alexander’s Feast(1736) was well received, Handel made a transition to English choral works.

  • A Night on Broadway a Great Success!
    We are pleased to forward on to you a brief update from the High Sheriff View in browser of Hertfordshire, Will Hobhouse: A Night on Broadway ­ a great success! Thank you so much to all of you who came, who donated, who supported, who contributed to the programme, who came to the after party, who helped on the evening and all those who advertised. The final tally is not quite ready but it looks as if we raised £10,000 for each charity we are supporting: that is £10,000 to London Musical Theatre Orchestra (LMTO), £10,000 to the St Albans Cathedral and £10,000 to the Hertfordshire Community Foundation for ‘pass through’ giving. What a great result – thank you! We have two further events to look forward to, both at the Cathedral; the Messiah on Saturday 15 July, and then the Justice Service on Sunday 5 November. Both of these will have programmes like at the Broadway concert. The reality of the fundraising is that it is the advertising and sponsorship that makes these work for fundraising. If anyone has a contact or business who might consider some sort of support please do let us know. The more the programme carries, the more that can be given to charity. Thank you Will Hobhouse High Sheriff of Hertfordshire [email protected] Handel’s Messiah Saturday 15th July 7.30pm Join us to hear this stunning piece of classical music, a favourite the world over, including the rousing ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ in the beautiful setting of St Albans Cathedral and performed by the London Handel Orchestra, with the St Albans Bach Choir and some sensational soloists.
