List of compositions by George Frideric Handel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Frideric Handel (23 February 1685 14 April 1759) was a GermanEnglish
Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios and concerti grossi. Handel's
compositions include 42 operas; 29 oratorios; more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets;
numerous arias; chamber music; a large number of ecumenical pieces; odes and
serenatas; and 16 organ concerti. His oratorio Messiah, with its "Hallelujah" chorus, is
among the most famous Baroque works and is a popular choice for performances during
the Christmas season. Among Handel's best-known instrumental works are the Concerti
Grossi Opus 3 and 6; "The Cuckoo and the Nightingale", in which birds are heard calling
during passages played in different keys representing the vocal ranges of two birds; and his
16 keyboard suites, especially The Harmonious Blacksmith.
Collected editions of Handel's works include the Hndel-Gesellschaft (HG) and the
Hallische Hndel-Ausgabe (HHA), however the more recent Hndel-Werke-Verzeichnis
(HWV) publication is now commonly used to number his works. For example, Handel's
Messiah can be referred to as: HG xlv, HHA i/17, or HWV 56.[1] Some of Handel's music is
also numbered based on initial publications, for example a 1741 publication by Walsh
labelled twelve of Handel's concerti grossi as Opus 6.

One of Handel's earliest extant

compositions. Probably written during
his years in Italy
c. 170710
A "Fitzwilliam" sonata. The

autographed manuscript, located in the
Fitzwilliam Museum, does not mention
instrumentation, nor are there tempo
markings for the movements. It is
tentatively assigned to the violin in the
HHA, however the recorder is also a
possibility.
c. 1724
The D minor sonata, headed "Sonata

2", follows the G major sonata (HWV
358) in the Fitzwilliam Museum
autograph. Originally written for violin
and published in two different E minor
versions for the flute. See flute sonata
in E minor (HWV 359b)
Of the two sonatas published by
Chrysander as Opus 1 Sonata I, this
one (Sonata Ib) is the one in Walsh's
original edition (where it is called
Sonata I).

Previously attributed
The following works are no longer thought to have been composed by Handel:
The Passion nach dem Evang. Johannes (the Passion according to the evangelist John). The work was published in
volume nine of the Hndel-Gesellschaft (1860), but is now thought to have been composed by the German composer
Georg Bhm.
