Bach-Handel
From the Royal Albert Hall, London
Handel's organ concertos were written primarily for himself to play during the intervals of his oratorio performances; and they were designed for instruments lighter in weight than those in use today, and without pedals. Consequently many of them have been adapted in various ways to modem needs. The concerto to be played tonight has been arranged by Gordon Jacob. It is known as the Hallelujah Concerto because of its opening theme. There are five movements: Allegro, Adagio, Spiritoso, Fugue, and Minuet. The Adagio and the Fugue are for organ alone, and were not written out by Handel, but were left to be provided by the player.
