George Frideric Handel (Georg Friedrich Händel)
(23 February 1685, Halle (Saale) – 14 April 1759, London) was a German-born British Baroque composer, famous for hisoperas, oratorios, anthems and organ concertos. Handel was born in 1685, in a family indifferent to music. He received critical musical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London (1712) and becoming a naturalised British subject in 1727. By then he was strongly influenced by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition.
