The Best of Handel

SKU: BA.BA10252

ISBN 9790006538775. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. Key: F major. Preface: Terence Best.

Handel� �s Concerto in F major (HWV 331) was long considered a variant of two movements from the three suites of his “Water Music” (HWV 348-350). Recently our understanding of the “Water Music” had to be thoroughly revised owing to new scholarly discoveries. Not only did the structure of the three suites prove to be unhistorical, but Friedrich Chrysander’s 19th-century view turned out to be correct: the two “variants” actually constitute an independent concerto.

In musical terms, HWV 331 is related to two movements of the “Water Music” and is frequently performed alongside them. Now it is available for the first time in a performing edition based on the already revised volume of the “Halle Handel Edition”, which reflects the current state of scholarship concerning the complex source tradition of the “Water Music” and the Concerto HWV 331.

Handel in the Band is a virtuoso set of symphonic variations on one of Handel's best known keyboard dances, the Sarabande from his Suite in D minor, HWV 437, based on the Spanish traditional dance La Folia. Kenneth Downie's work was commissioned by Brass Band Treize Etoiles, for performance at the 2013 Swiss National Brass Band Championships, where it was conducted by James Gourlay. The title is a reference to Percy Grainger's popular Handel in the Strand, and is indicative of the witty and theatrical nature of the music, which is more playful than conventional competition pieces and as such offers different challenges to brass bands as well as being thoroughly entertaining for audiences.

Kenneth Downie is one of the most respected and experienced brass band composers. His music has been widely performed and published throughout the brass band world since the 1960s.

Es ist spannend zu entdecken, wie sich das Genre Oper im Laufe der Jahrhunderte gewandelt hat: seit seiner Entstehung in der italienischen Spatrenaissance uber Barock, Klassik und Romantik bis in die Gegenwart. Relativ kurz hingegen war die Blutezeit der Operette. Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts endet ihr Werdegang abrupt, doch immer noch erscheint sie auf den Spielplanen unserer Theater. Das Interesse vor allem des jungen Publikums gilt aber nun zunehmend der neuen Gattung Musical.
