George Frideric Handel, geboren als Georg Friedrich Händel, was een invloedrijke componist van de barokperiode, wiens muziek de grenzen tussen Duitsland en Engeland overschreed. Geboren in Halle an der Saale in 1685, vestigde Handel zich later in Engeland, waar hij een van de meest beïnvloedende figuren in de klassieke muziekwereld werd. Zijn werk omvat een breed scala aan genres, waaronder opera's, oratoria, anthems, concerti grossi en orgelconcerten. Handel is vooral bekend om zijn meesterwerken zoals het oratorium "Messiah" en de opera's "Julius Caesar" en "Xerxes". Zijn composities, gekenmerkt door hun rijke harmonieën en dynamische structuren, blijven vandaag de dag nog steeds inspirerend en populair. Handel's muziek is een tijdloze schat die de essentie van de barokperiode vangt en blijft genieten van wereldwijde waardering.
