Handel - Peace & Celebration
Original release date: 2013
Format:
Recorded live in concert at St John’s Smith Square, London in September 2013, this recording of famous works by Handel celebrates the 300th anniversary of the accession of George I, the first of the Hanoverian monarchs, in 1714. The German-born composer had arrived in London in 1712 and soon became a favourite of Queen Anne and later Hanoverians, composing the Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne in 1713 to celebrateing the Peace of Utrecht. Handel was made a British citizen by George I in 1727 and was commissioned to compose music for the coronation of George II, the resulting Coronation Anthems becoming a traditional part of all subsequent British coronations.
