The solo cantatas of Handel (most of them written in Italy during the years 1707-09) are commonly regarded as works of apprenticeship in which he forged a musical technique that would stand him in good stead as a composer of Italian operas.Available here is the second volume of solo Cantatas for Soprano with Basso Continuo. This highly authoritative edition has been edited and prepared by Andrew V. Jones.

Handelâ??s â??Semeleâ?, which premiered in February 1744, is based on an adapted version of William Congreveâ??s opera libretto titled â??The Story of Semeleâ?, originally published in 1706. However, neither Handel nor his librettist referred to â??Semeleâ? as an opera or an oratorio, which, according to the understanding at the time, would have required a biblical and/or Christian subject matter. Contemporary audiences also disagreed on the genre. The problematic classification as an oratorio has persisted into the present day, likely due to the edition labeled as such by Chrysander. The â??Halle Handel Editionâ? (HHA) distances itself from this classification and, considering the available sources, refrains from assigning a genre label.Congreve deviates from the mythological source multiple times in order to create tensions among the characters. The desired marriage between Semele and Athamas, whom she does not love, is an addition by Congreve to provoke the envy of her sister Ino, who desires Athamas herself. Therefore, Ino sees her own advantage in Semeleâ??s abduction by Jupiter. While Jupiterâ??s wife Juno decides to destroy Semele out of jealousy for his relationship with her, Jupiter brings Ino to his palace to console Semele. The vengeful Juno takes advantage of Inoâ??s presence and transforms into her likeness, persuading Semele to carry out a plan that later proves fatal. In the end, Ino emerges as the winner, as she is able to convince their father, Cadmus, to marry her to Athamas. The appearance of Apollo in the final scene to announce that Semeleâ??s immortal son Bacchus was saved from her ashes provides little consolation. However, this twist allows the drama to conclude with exuberant joy and a magnificent final chorus after the tragic scenes in the third act, culminating in the death of the protagonist.Handelâ??s autograph score shows significant deviations from and numerous revisions of the original version premiered. All surviving early versions, the musical movements deleted before the premiere, and the version of the December 1744, are given in the appendix to the HHA.

“Almiraâ€, Handel’s first opera, was well received when premiered in 1705 at the Theater am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg. The director was Reinhard Keiser, who, remarkably, had himself already set Friedrich Christian Feustking’s text to music. The role of Fernando was sung by Johann Mattheson. The translation used by Handel leaves several Italian arias in their original language, resulting in a delightful mixture of German and Italian.The opera which, after sundry entangled romances, ends in the wedding of three couples, is characterised by exuberant scenes: the procession at Almira’s crowning ceremony, a duel, a prison scene and a masked-ball involving the three continents Europe, Africa and Asia. The vocal score to “Almira†by George Frideric Handel brings about a small sensation: Whilst conducting a reenactment of this work in 1732, Georg Philipp Telemann removed the Aria no. 28 “Ingrato, spietato†from his conducting score. Since then this aria has been deemed lost. Due to necessity only the edited vocal text devoid of any music was presented in the 1994 volume of the “Halle Handel Editionâ€. Thanks to a recently discovered contemporary manuscript copy from the beginning of the 18th century which was found in the music library of the Mariengymnasium in Jever, this aria has now been made available to performers for the first time in this new vocal score edition. Previous to this the corresponding pages could only be seen as a facsimile in an article of the “Göttinger Händel-Beiträgeâ€.Now the aria can be performed again. Furthermore, with the help of this new source, missing measures in the basso continuo which had initially been completed by the editor of the “Halle Handel Edition†volume, could be reconstructed from the basso continuo part of the Bellante aria “Ich brenne zwar†(no. 71).

This fantastic new work is set to become a classic in the trumpet repertoire. Each of its three contrasting movements can be played alone as shorter pieces or together as a mini concerto. The second movement is particularly interesting in the fact it is a fantasy in theme and variations form, based on a Handel minuet. A must for all trumpet players of an intermediate to advanced level. Deel een van dit werk draait om twee contrasterende thema’s: het eerste is resoluut, het tweede lyrischer. Het tweede deel is een fantasie over een menuet van Händel. Het derde deel begint met een energiek thema, waarna een themamet een ander karakter volgt. De twee thema’s wisselen elkaar af, uitmondend in een cantabile. Het concerto eindigt met een reprise van de eerste twee thema’s.In diesem dreisätzigen Werk verarbeitete Kees Schoonenbeek mehrere eigene Themen sowie ein Menuett von Händel. Ein Thema ist resolut, das nächste eher lyrisch, ein drittes sehr energisch. Aus der Gegenüberstellung, Weiterentwicklung und abwechselnden Wiederholung dieser Themen und Melodien ergeben sich interessante Kontraste, die das Evergreen Concerto zu einem wahren Evergreen machen, an dem sich das Publikum nie satt hören wird. Evergreen Concerto s’articule autour d’un premier mouvement constitué de deux thèmes contrastants - l’un résolu, l’autre lyriquement mélodieux - d’une fantaisie libre sur un menuet de Georg Friedrich Haendel et d’un troisième mouvement qui développe deux entités thématiques progressant vers un charmant cantabile. Evergreen Concerto se conclut par un retour alterné des deux thèmes initiaux.

Im Gegensatz zu seinem Zeitgenossen Joh. Seb. Bach hinterliess Georg Friedrich Handel kaum Werke fur die Orgel. Ausser den bekannten Konzerten fur Orgel und Orchester schrieb er 6 Fugen, die diese Ausgabe der Praxis erschliessen mochte. Der Grund, dass Handel sich in seinem kompositorischen Schaffen in so geringem Masse der Orgel zuwandte, ist nicht in erster Linie in seinem kunstlerischen Aufgabenkreis zu suchen, sondern liegt wohl hauptsachlich an der primitiven Beschaffenheit der englischen Orgeln seiner Zeit. Weithin fand man das Pedal entbehrlich und liess es weg. Fr. Chrysander berichtet: (,,G. Fr. Handel III, S. 218) ,,Handel, dessen Ohr an die deutschen Orgelbasse gewohnt war, nahm zu einem Stuck Blei Zuflucht, um einen tiefen Ton fortklingen zu lassen und beide Hande frei zu haben..
