Description: George Frideric Handel by Ellen T. Harris Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An intimate portrait of Handels life and inner circle, modelled after one of the composers favourite forms: the fugue. Publisher Description During his lifetime, the sounds of Handels music reached from court to theatre, echoed in cathedrals and filled crowded taverns. But the man himself is a mystery. Though he took meticulous care of his musical manuscripts and provided for their preservation in his will, very little of an intimate nature survives. In search of the private man behind the public persona, Ellen T. Harris has tracked down the letters, diaries, financial accounts, court cases and other documents connected with the composers closest friends. The result is a tightly woven tapestry of London life in the first half of the eighteenth century, one that weaves together vibrant descriptions of Handels music with stories of loyalty, cunning and betrayal. With this new approach, Harris reveals an ambitious, shrewd, generous, brilliant and flawed man. Author Biography Ellen T. Harris is professor emeritus at MIT and has served on the music faculties of Columbia University and the University of Chicago. Her previous books include Handel as Orpheus: Voice and Desire in the Chamber Cantatas, and she has spoken at Lincoln Center and appeared on PBS NewsHour and BBC Radio 3. She lives in Newton, Massachusetts. Details ISBN 0393088952 ISBN-13 9780393088953 Title George Frideric Handel Author Ellen T.
