Handel: Music for the Royal Fireworks, Overture.

[@danik.5545]

A very triumphant, cheerful and elegant overture, composed in 1749, with a style of transition to classicism. I love its galloping rhythms and fast rising and falling melodic lines. Great Handel

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Always absolutely love Handel's use if drums, especially in this piece. I have played it many times over the last 40 years (violin and oboe) and it always inspires a wonderful sense of majesty of occasion.

In London, Handel’s residence is marked with a heritage plaque on the front. Visitors enjoy that it is next door to Jimi Hendrix’s residence which similarly has a heritage plaque on its front.

[@czerwonadupa9547]

@Joel Rycroft I hope the following enlightens you. Official blue plaques are given out by English Heritage, which administers a scheme that began in the 1860s, and they currently number just over 900. To be awarded an official English Heritage plaque, the proposed recipient must have died at least 20 years ago. This is to help ensure that the decision about whether or not to shortlist a candidate is made with a sufficient degree of hindsight. However, plaques are as much about the buildings in which people lived and worked as about the subjects being commemorated - the intrinsic aim of English Heritage blue plaques is to celebrate the relationship between people and place. For this reason, they only erect a plaque if there is a surviving building closely associated with the person in question. In the past, different criteria were sometimes used: some plaques were put up to mark the site of a house which has since been demolished, and the 20-year rule did not always apply. The plaque to Napoleon III, for example - the oldest to survive - went up when he was still alive. However, the criteria are now applied without exception. The English Heritage scheme relies on nominations from the public, so if you think someone deserves a plaque, and fits the criteria for acceptance, please let them know. However, councils and other organisations are free to put up their own. And like a lot of things in today's world were everyone must have prizes they've been appropriated by every Tom, Dick & Harry council & group to promote their own agendas.

An immigrant at work here. Born and bred German, Handel has now become synonymous with everything crusty and British. Even the coronation anthem, "Zadok the Priest," the most British of British songs of pomp and circumstance, was penned by this German immigrant. That is the genius of Britain, more so than any other European country: taking foreigners and quickly making them Britain's own. (Though it helped that during Handel's time the British Kings George I and George II were also German immigrants, with the former having almost no ability to speak English and the latter only begrudgingly living in Britain instead of his beloved Hanover because London was where the money was.)

[@GoseiGuyProductions]

It was on some soundboard on a website called Soundboard and there was a soundboard called Movie Theatre Sounds and it has the sounds of various movie logos and other companies like 20th Century Fox, THX and that Best Buy Native America “Turn Off Your Cell Phones” and one final sound which was labeled “National Lampoon” and here’s the description of what it was: This song was heard and then a a horse and it falling over and I don’t know what it was but it was probably a parody of the TriStar logo and if anyone knows what movie it’s from, let me know

I feel that I must respond to MrKain1000s comment on music serving purely religious purposes until two hundred years ago. This is an extremely uneducated and ignorant statement. It was actually during the renaissance that secular music started to gain a foothold through the madrigals of such names as Thomas Morely and William Byrd. During the Baroque Era, many composers composed both religious and secular work. Take Bach for instance. Some of his best known works were his church cantatas, but he also wrote secular cantatas as well. And the Brandenburg Concerti were anything but religious. He wrote them to basically kiss ass for a potential employer. During the classical and romantic eras, composers also wrote for both spheres. Considering that the renaissance began around 1450, that's nearly 600 years of secular music. Religion may have provided the environment for the codification of our current musical understanding, but music moved out of the church a looooong time ago.

[@TheMarcHicks]

Even back in the Medieval period, you had Madrigals, which were essentially secular Motets.....but Madrigals & secular instrumental music became ever more popular throughout the Renaissance.

[@agnesalbert6703]

Bach wrote Brandengurg Concertos in Coethen for his employer's favour who trated him friendly. Those were enjoyable a peaceful times in Bach's life.

[@moirbasso7051]

You are showing your ignorance, not the OP. The operative word in his statement was 'primarily' - therein lies all the difference. As a University professor, music WAS primarily for Christian religious purposes, until about 200 years ago. The 1800's saw the rise of Freemasonry [Weishaupt's Illuminati/Mozart's Zauberflöte, for example in the decades 1776-1791], Enlightenment secularism [think Voltaire, the apostate heretic], and hedonism pro se, as a goal for musicians to achieve, rather than holiness of living. Compare Bach to either Chopin or Liszt, for example. Just because you think your correct, doesn't mean history objectively denies your thesis....

[@FroonB]

Why tf is this an actual argumentative issue? Can your collective egos simply not Handel the idea of somebody disagreeing with you? Music is music, and regardless of the circumstances of its composition, the one thing we can all agree on is that it's damn beautiful.

[@moirbasso7051]

Because Feodor, if you understand anything at all about Christianity, ALL of Western culture is innately religious (even when it is being denied, in Schoenberg's case), and therefore, reflects the unique and immutable Christian character of the music. To deny it, downplay it, or denigrate it, is to insult everything the Church and Western culture stands for. And Handel (who wrote Messiah) would probably agree!
