| Ajoutée par alastair-lewis, 01 Mai 2014 The gavotte (also gavot or gavote) was originally a dance. The Gavot people of the Pays de Gap region of Dauphiné, France first introduced the dance which they used for folk dancing. The music is in 4/4 or 2/2 time and has a moderate tempo. A distinctive feature of the 18th-century French court gavotte is that the phrases begin in the middle of the bar. In the Baroque era composers such as Handel and Bach added the gavotte to suites and partitas. The German-born George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was a famous Baroque composer who lived much of his life in Britain. He was successful as a composer of oratorios, anthems, operas and organ concertos. Handel received his education in Germany and Italy before settling in Britain in 1712. He set out to supply the English nobility with Italian Opera, and within 15 years had successfully established three commercial opera companies. After a physical breakdown in 1737 he began to address the musical needs of the middle-class of society. After the success of "Alexander's Feast" in 1736 he chose to concentrate on English choral works. The Oratorio "Messiah" (1742) was well received, and thereafter he never performed an Italian opera again. Handel's coronation anthem "Zadok the Priest", has been performed at every British coronation since George II's accession to the throne in 1727.
