George


Georg Friedrich Händel, 1685-1759

Breaking news. Georg Friedrich Händel was gay. That is the latest from my newspaper. He was a joyfull German guy from Saxonia making music for the English court (vat ter teffel = what the devil).

His water/fireworks music and his Giulio Cesare (Julius Cesar) opera are well known. He made about 40+ operas and a lot of other well-known great baroque music. It seems he is becommimg a hype again - stay tuned.

- The Largo from his Xerxes opera.
- The splattering 'La Rejouissance' from his Water musics.

Enjoy
