Introduction

Guten tag, my name is George Frederic Handel I’m a German composer who spends most of my time in London. I’m well known for my operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos.  I created three commercial opera companies to supply the English nobility with opera music. I received most of my training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before staying in London. I’m strongly influenced both by the great Italian composers. I am a  highly influential composer.
