'How refreshing, to read a book about music written for a music lover and not a musicologist. In clear, lucid, entertaining prose, Jane Glover makes those of us who lack musical literacy better understand and appreciate Handels divinity.' Donna Leon, author of Handel's Bestiary and the Inspector Brunetti mysteries.Handel in London tells the story of a young German composer who in 1712, followed his princely master to London and would remain there for the rest of his life. That master would become King George II and the composer was George Frideric Handel.Handel, then still only twentyseven and largely selftaught, would be at the heart of musical activity in London for the next four decades, composing masterpiece after masterpiece, whether the glorious coronation anthem, Zadok the Priest, operas such as Giulio Cesare, Rinaldo and Alcina or the great oratorios, culminating, of course, in Messiah.Here, Jane Glover, who has conducted Handels work in opera houses and concert halls throughout the world, draws on her profound understanding of music and musicians to tell Handels story. It is a story of musicmaking and musicianship, of practices and practicalities, but also of courts and cabals, of theatrical rivalries and of eighteenthcentury society. It is also, of course, the story of some of the most remarkable music ever written, music that has been played and sung, and loved, in this country and throughout the world for three hundred years.
