| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. George Frideric Handel is perhaps the most famous composer to come out of the Baroque period of music. Both his royal commissioned works and those created of his own direction have stood the test of time in the classical music cannon. This book looks at the importance of Handel's life in his time, the musical styles he experimented with and his most beloved works.
