It' s mighty and joyful, so I chose it as my wedding soundtrack. Some years later I learnt its story: in 18th century the king dont know who underwrote an important peace treaty on the days close to his birthday, and so ordered a sumptuous ceremony in London, with such music. The gala was to be held with magnificent fireworks, designed and managed by the real masters of that age, the Italian blasters, who began working with local laborer. The fires went very badly, Italians blamed London squad, London squad blamed both Italian and the damp and rainy weather, for having caused some fires to ignite early, others nothing at all, others late, some fires didn' t take off while burning, causing an explosion that demolished a balcony, hurting several people. The king was furious, a brawl came out, and many past the night in jail, while the king took on promising not to pay anyone. Not a good wish for my wedding, and now I understand why two friends of my wife, both musicians, took on laughing (I thought smiling) at this music. Luckily my marriage still enjoys good health.
Yes, and legend has it that Handel was a participant in the brawl. He was absolutely furious (it was common knowledge that he had a temper) that his tribute to His Majesty had been ruined. Handel was unabashedly devoted to George II. After all, the Hanoverians were fellow Germans.
Our lives are less than100years. However, Handel‘s music has an eternal life, and will transced time and space and ages,and gender and races of people, and other religions and Various wars
Just listened to a piece of music I haven't heard for 55 years, the V. Menuets 1 and 2. When I was at Primary School (UK) back in the 1960s we used to have Assembly every morning at 9.00, and the teachers would choose a classical record for us to listen to as everyone 'assembled' for information, general tellings off and other nonsense. These pieces of lovely music stuck with me and since I was around 25 I've been an avid listener to all types of classical music, starting out with LPs and now using TH-cam and the absolutely incredible Spotify. Who would have guessed how easy it was to become for music lovers! I don't suppose schools play classical music to the little ones any more, and if not they are depriving children of limitless pleasure through their life. I feel very blessed to have attended ordinary little Fryern County Infants and Junior school in Chandler's Ford, Hampshire, and am testament to the fact that you don't have to be posh or upper class to listen to classical stuff. I'm as common as muck, and I love the classics, espcially Tchaikovsy, and regularly sob my way through Swan Lake. Thank you In C for uploading this lovely treat.
The great Russian composers were all from the working class!! 💪🏼 btw, I was born in 1991, and attended a public school where we had music class, and every week we learned about a new composer, and the teacher would play us recordings of great composers, from all practice periods.
You describe almost exactly my introduction to classical music... morning assembly and the hush while the head teacher lowered the the stylus on to the vinyl.
Loved and appreciated was Handel's music that he was honoured by being regarded as an honorary member of the British race , his much loved music is as powerful today as ever and as much a joy . This earned him a place along with other great worthies of the centuries by a burial in our British pantheon of notables , Westminster Abbey....
I really admire the music for royal fireworks piece that you uploaded. It has superb quality and the brass is top notch. The melody of this piece is in different world.
I really like how people still listening to classical music, also seems really hard to blow up with classical music these days.. Congratulations on all views
Beethoven about Handel : "the greatest composer who ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel down at his tomb" He had also composed a composition dedicated to H. named "The Consecration of the House" in a very handelian style : double-fugue, heavy use of drums etc. When you are praised by the greatest composer of history (in my opinion) it shows your greatness.
. La musica di Bach è forse più grande, ma quella di Haendel è certamente più bella. Alfred Einstein ha osservato che le melodie di Bach hanno tutte una radice strumentale e non vocale, ed è per questo che secondo me la musica vocale di Bach (che pure rispetto a quella di Haendel ha una architettura compositiva più ardita e stupefacente) ha qualcosa di conservato. La musica vocale di Haendel è più ariosa, più fresca, più comunicativa, più evocativa, più ispirata. Detto in una sola parola secondo me è più musica della musica di Bach. Inoltre pur essendo ugualmente poetica è più pittorica: può essere accostata a molti quadri italiani, non solo medioevali, ma anche del Rinascimento e successivi.
Even if you consider Mozart or Bach the best composers ever, and not Beethoven, they too praised and loved Handel's music. The former sayng "Handel understands affect better than any of us" and the latter having copied a lot of Handel's works indicating great interest for his music and style.
Estoy de acuerdo con Angus,mi paladar auditivo es muy exigente,y también en mi opinión es la mejor,tiene muchos matices que otras no tienen. Gracias amigo por esta música eterna.
Una música grandiosa y llena de sentido del maravilloso que dignifica quienes la aprecian. Que diferencia de la "música" ruidosa del mundo hodierno que lleva las personas al caos y a la destrucción de su proprio ser.

This is indeed the best version. It was uploaded before in another video and that video is gone. I was afraid I was never be able to recover that version ever again.

Danke für diese schöne musik.
... Finally a conductor and orchestra that allows this wonderful music to b r e a t h e with original baroque speed - any hint who is performing?
Man kann nicht besser ins neue Jahr starten als mit Händel. Unübertroffen.

The greatness of Handel is eternal and forever
Popularity and fascination of Handel‘s music are eternal and parmanent
I get the feeling that this both a high point of baroque music, and also a farewell.
Handel has a Mysterious allure that attracts people to him
I'm only intoxicated with Handel’s masterpieces while drinking Japanese dense green tea
It’s such a great version 😍🥰

In memory of Quo Vadis
The violence of Emperor Nero was raging in Rome
When Petro fled Rome for fear of persecution,
he saw Jesus Christ carrying he cross on his way to Rome on Via Appia
「Lord!Where are you going?」
Christ said to Petro with a lonely and sorrowful face「If you forsake my people,
I will go to Rome and crucify again」
Petro returned to Rome and was crucified and martyred
It was the sad face of Jesus on the Via Appia that passed through Petro’s mind on the verge of death
Tokyo is deep night
Good night
My all-time favorite version!

Great performance! Please let us know the conductor and performing group!
This version is by far the best IMO, do you mind telling us which year and which conductor and orchestra is that ? Thank you very much !!!
This is performed by Leeds Chamber Orchestra. I got this recording from museopen.(musopen.org/music/6201-music-for-the-royal-fireworks-hwv-351/)

HI RESPECTFUL PEOPLE
I've never seen phantoms and Handel haters
Yo creo que Handell es si no el más grande compositor de todos los tiempos, al menos el más grandioso ❤️
Efectivamente, nadie lo supera en musicalizar el esplendor y la grandeza
Which orchestra and conductor did this arrangement? Its probably one of the best I've heard!
This is performed by Leeds Chamber Orchestra :)
An enlightened time to be alive! For some at least...
I wonder if and how they actually synced fireworks with the orchestra performance back then in London. Must have been total geeks who worked that out. EDIT: Ok, just read the actual fireworks caused some decorations and booths to burn down. Ah, never mind then. :D
me sinto em uma grande corte imperial !!!
Antônio Fagundes, en su encarnación anterior como compositor.

Handel's multiple work projects are Cool in General...yet they still carry on certain Themes unlike Bach or Mozart as an example...They didn't hit that pretty often.
