George Frideric Handel




I chose George Frideric Handel as my composer. He was born in 1685 in Germany. He learned about music in Italy before going to Britain and settling there. Handel is well known for operas, oratorios and concertos. A couple of his most famous works include Water works, Messiah and Music for the Royal Fireworks.

The work I posted is water works. I like this piece because of the lively tune and because I have also heard this before.
