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..

The oratorio “ Athalia †tells the Old Testament story of the Queen Athalia . Handel composed it in 1733 for Oxford University where it was first performed later that year during the celebrations for the awarding of honorary degrees. The great s uccess of this performance is generally regarded as a reason for Handel’s renewed interest in the oratorio form. As was frequently the case, Handel also carried on composing this work after the first performance. Thus, for the version which was performed in London in 1735, he introduced numbers in Italian for the Italian singer Carestini in the role of Joad . He also ended the work with an organ concerto. For the performance in 1756 he drew on other works for the third act. Conversely, large parts of the music to Athalia form the basis for other works by Handel such as “ Parnasso in festa †(HWV 73) and the Wedding Anthem (HWV 262). The piano reduction by Andreas Köhs , based on the Urtext of the “Halle Handel†Edition, includes the main version of 1733 together with an appendix containing the versions of 1735 and 1756 as well as the outline of a planned version of 1743 which was not performed.

Messiah 1741 - new light on Handel's masterpieceThe focus of this new edition is the Messiah as first conceived by the composer in 1741: before its first performance in Dublin in 1742, before the first London performances of the mid 1740s, before the final Foundling Hospital performances in the late 1750s. The editor succeeds in creating a 21st-century edition from the perspective of 1741, making clear that Messiah was a genius hit from the start.Messiah 1741 - the first and only complete edition of Handel's autograph scoreThorough information on Handel's performance practice in 1741 (including topics such as orchestration, continuo, text underlay and specific questions on interpretation)It offers a reconstruction of the wind parts according to contemporary sourcesPiano vocal score with contemporary vocal ornamentationFirst edition including the German text by Herder - a monument of the German enlightenment - which is contentwise and phonetically closer to Jennens' text than any other translation, therefore being a perfect singable alternativeThe appendix contains additionally the most popular and important aria versions composed after 1741 for practical reasons.Throughout this new edition, creative yet pragmatic scholarship shines through, and the Preface and Critical Report are thorough and unusually fascinating. ... I'm very happy to own the full score, and if I were starting out now, I'd invest in the whole kit and caboodle.(Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ)Critical Edition with the original English text by Charles Jennens as well as the German translation by Johann Gottfried Herder, including a comprehensive historical and musicological preface and detailed critical commentary.
