Notes on the Programby James M. Keller
GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDELBorn February 23, 1685, in Halle, Saxony(Germany)Died April 14, 1759, in London, England
Not much is known with certainty aboutHandel’s formative years. His father, arespected barber-surgeon, was 63 yearsold when George was born. (He was bap-tized under the name Georg FriederichHändel, but he later adopted an anglicizedversion of his name, George Frideric Handel,which is generally used today in English-speaking lands.) The father decided thatthe son should study law and therefore didnot encourage Handel’s early inclinations
toward music. Our composer nonethelesssmuggled a small clavichord into the fam-ily’s attic and developed privately into anaccomplished keyboard player. Once his tal-ent became publicly known, the duke ofSaxe-Weissenfels urged Handel Sr. to allowthe gifted son to study music properly.Handel refined his abilities under the tute-lage of a church organist in his native city,acquiring skill not only as a keyboard playerbut also as a violinist and in such disciplinesas harmony, counterpoint, and composition.
When Handel entered Halle University in1702, he apparently did so as a law stu-dent. Within a month he was back in theorgan loft, this time at the local CalvinistCathedral, though he was a baptizedLutheran. A year later, in 1703, he left forthe musical capital of Hamburg, where he

befriended Georg Phillip Telemann (thenstill a student) and gained a position in themunicipal opera house, initially as a secondviolinist, later as a harpsichordist. He vis-ited the aging Dieterich Buxtehude innearby Lübeck but somehow managed tomiss meeting Johann Sebastian Bach, hisexact contemporary, not only in those earlyyears but, indeed, at any point in his life.
By 1706, at the age of 21, he was off toItaly, a magnet for any composer at theturn of the 18th century. It was his base ofoperations from late 1706 through early1710, during which span he spent time inFlorence, Rome, Venice, and Naples. Hearrived in Rome at the beginning of 1707,and that is where we encounter him in thisconcert. It was an exciting place to be, acity of some 125,000 residents encom-passing, on one hand, desperate povertyand rampant crime and, on the other, fan-tastic wealth that extended to a plethora ofaristocratic palaces and the unbelievablesplendor of the Vatican. Handel (or“Endel,” as Italian sources sometimesidentified him, doing their best phoneti-cally) was welcomed into the cultural cir-cles of four highly placed personages inparticular: Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni (whosemaestro di concerto was ArcangeloCorelli), Cardinal Benedetto Pamphilj (orPamphilii, or Panfili), Cardinal Carlo Colonna,and the Marchese (Marquis) FrancescoMaria Ruspoli. He became acquaintedwith such musical eminences as Corelli,Alessandro Scarlatti, and Domenico Scarlatti(visiting from Madrid), and was thoroughlyexposed to the latest trends in churchcomposition as well as the new concertogrosso techniques of Corelli, Torelli, andVivaldi. Handel left Italy in February 1710,worked for a while in Hanover, and inAugust 1710 traveled for the first time toEngland, where he would soon settle forthe remainder of his illustrious career.
Nearly all of Handel’s Latin church musicdates from 1707, when he was living inRome surrounded by ecclesiastical person-ages. His motet Nisi Dominus (HWV 238)and Laudate pueri Dominum (HWV 237)were almost certainly written for the Feastof Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Madonnadel Carmine) at the Church of Santa Mariadi Monte Santo in Rome, which was cele-brated through a Vespers service on July 15,1707, a Mass on July 16, and anotherVespers later on July 16. Cardinal Colonnaand Marchese Ruspoli were major patronsof the Carmelite order, and the former wasespecially active underwriting specialmusic for the order’s festivities. The motetDixit Dominus (HWV 232) probably relatesto the same ceremonies, but its associa-tion is less certain. Handel composed it inApril 1707, perhaps for a separate occa-sion; but, even in that case, it seems likelythat it may have also been performed, ifnot premiered, at the Carmelite celebra-tion. Each of the Vespers services requiredthe singing of five psalms; lavish settings(such as the 1707 feast) would includepolyphonic psalm settings, while moremodest venues might realize them at leastmostly through chant. Handel’s extantpsalm settings line up remarkably wellwith the musical exigencies of the 1707Carmelite services, where they likelywould have been intermingled with set-tings by other composers.
Handel had an extraordinary ability toabsorb disparate regional styles and refractthem through the distinctive prism of hispersonal voice. An Italianate sound cer-tainly informs all the pieces on this pro-gram, yet they also sound very much likeHandel, memorable in rhythmic and melodicoutlines, imaginative in deployment ofvoices and instruments, filled with specificcharacter and musical surprise. The threemotets require different forces. Nisi
Dominus, a setting of Psalm 127 (or 126 inthe Vulgate numbering) is scored for threevocal soloists (contralto, tenor, and bass),chorus, strings (including solo violin in onearia), with basso continuo. Handel signedoff on the piece on July 8, 1707. Thework’s final doxology was thought destroyedin a fire in the 19th century, but it is nowwidely believed that the doxology settingintended for this work is one Handel com-posed that expands the texture to a doublechorus and double string orchestra.
Laudate pueri (Psalm 113; Vulgate 112) isfor strings plus two oboes (which operateas an independent instrumental familyrather than just doubling the violins), a four-part chorus, and a florid solo soprano part,in addition to basso continuo. This workwas completed on July 13—really down tothe deadline. Dixit Dominus (Psalm 110;Vulgate 109) is the most imposing of thesemotets, and although it was composedthree months prior to the Carmelite cele-brations (it is said to be Handel’s earliestsurviving manuscript that can be defini-tively dated), it would have been a perfectchoice to launch the Second Vespers (thespot where the Dixit Dominus text falls),which characteristically began with a par-ticularly elaborate musical selection. HereHandel requires five soloists (two sopra-nos, contralto, tenor, and bass), five-partchorus, strings, and basso continuo, whichare woven into a sequence of constantlyvarying textures.
Handel’s autograph of the Violin Concertoin B-flat major comes down to us in a
manuscript titled Sonata a 5, scored forsolo violin, two oboes (easily doubled with“orchestral” violins), viola, and basso con-tinuo. This work has obscure origins. Itwas quite possibly written in Italy, perhapsin Florence or Venice in 1706 or 1707, per-haps in Rome. Though the piece is rarelyheard in this form, its first movement maysound familiar. Handel, an inveterate recy-cler of his compositions, also employed itin his Oboe Concerto “No. 2” in B-flatmajor (perhaps a spurious work), in hisChandos Anthem No. 5 (1717–18), in thefirst of his 7 Sonatas for 2 Violins (orGerman Flutes), Op. 5 (published in 1739),and, in developed form, in the oratorioBelshazzar (1745). Such self-borrowingwas common in Handel’s vocal music, too.The Dixit Dominus, for example, furnishedmusic he later used in his oratorio Deborah(1733), and the Qui habitare fecit move-ment in Laudate pueri invites us to thinkahead to the famous aria “Oh, had I Jubal’slyre” in his oratorio Joshua (1748).Repurposing of that sort was commonamong many late-Baroque composers, butin Handel’s case, it is remarkable how eas-ily music penned during his journeymanyears in Italy could be fit into the pieces hecomposed many years later—a reflectionof the exceptional mastery he had alreadyachieved as an emerging composer in hisearly 20s.

He raises up the poor out of the dust,and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;that he may set him with princes,even with the princes of his people.
He makes the barren woman to keep house,and to be a joyful mother of children.

The Lord swore, and will not repent:
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech.
The Lord upon thy right hand,shall wound even kings in the day of hiswrath.
He shall judge the nations,fill the places with destruction,and shatter the skulls in many lands.
He shall drink of the brook in the way,therefore shall he lift up his head.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:As it was in the beginning is now, and forever:world without end. Amen.
