Sir WALFORD DAVIES : ' Music and the Ordinary Listener, Series VIII-Handel at the Harpsichord '

2LO London and 5XX Daventry
on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

FOR his eighth series of talks on ' Music and the Ordinary
Listener ' Sir Walford is breaking fresh ground. Twelve little-known and seldom heard Overtures by Handel will be analyzed at the piano and then played over on the harpsichord. The old contemporary ' out- line ' version of these overtures will be used-so that the listener may more readily follow the melodic line and see the simple harmonic basis on which Handel worked.
