Handel



Today I would like to honor the Baroque composer Handel, who died 250 years ago today. The compositions that I am the most familiar with are the Messiah, Largo, and Water Music. I remember playing Water Music for the first time in seventh grade on the clarinet. His music defines his era, and I enjoy it very much.

That's neat. I didn't even know it was his birthday.
