| Added by magataganm, 06 May 2018 Most music lovers have encountered Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 – 1759) through holiday-time renditions of the Messiah's "Hallelujah" chorus. And many of them know and love that oratorio on Christ's life, death, and resurrection, as well as a few other greatest hits like the orchestral Water Music and Royal Fireworks Music, and perhaps Judas Maccabeus or one of the other English oratorios. Yet his operas, for which he was widely known in his own time, are the province mainly of specialists in Baroque music, and the events of his life, even though they reflected some of the most important musical issues of the day, have never become as familiar as the careers of Bach or Mozart. Perhaps the single word that best describes his life and music is "cosmopolitan": he was a German composer, trained in Italy, who spent most of his life in England. One of the subtitles for Handel's keyboard suites published in 1720 was "Lessons." Supposedly, Handel used the suites as education works intended to guide his pupils along the path to keyboard mastery. In that case, those students who undertook to learn the Suite in F minor must already be far along the path because the F minor is a tough and powerful work requiring both fluency and strength in each of its five movements. The opening Adagio Prelude begins simply, but becomes increasingly intense as voices are added and the textures grows thick with chromatic lines and embellishments. The Allegro Fuga that follows starts with a rising subject, quickly adds two more voices, then adds massive three- and four-voice chords to close with a monumental seven-voice cadence. The Allemande and Courante that follow roil and rock through densely contrapuntal textures. The suite closes with a Gigue whose octave-and-a-half theme hastens to an oblique but nonetheless conclusive final cadence.
