This Week's Composer

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Handel (1685-1759)
' Church Music based on Holy Wrtt has Its foundations In Reason. Pleasure and Duty go handinhandandthe greater our Satisfaction is, the greater Is our Religion.'
(JOSEPH ADDISON, 1712)
Handel's church music reflected this new Age of Reason, and this week's programmes are drawn from his English anthems and Te Deums as well as the Latin pieces he composed in Italy.
