Titolo: Haendel Ritrovato

ve lo dico solo per dimostrare al vecchiaccio genovese che la bella
pulzella combattiva se lo sogna di scalzarmi dal ruolo di comando
delle B.A.C.H.
E' stato ritrovato un indedito haendeliano. si tratta di un Gloria di
ampie proporzioni per soprano, archi e basso continuo.
L'opera e' stata composta a Roma, nel 1707, e quindi coeva ad alcuni
assoluti capolavori sacri del nostro Nume.
Giaceva in una biblioteca di Londra, ed e' stato ritrovato da un
musicolo tedesco che sta rifacendo la catalogazione delle opere del
Gigante sassone.
ciao!

Lost work by Handel could rival Messiah

  AN unknown choral work by Handel that some music scholars believe
will  come to be regarded as significant as Messiah has been discovered in
the library of the Royal Academy of Music.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo - a substantial seven-movement composition for
soprano and strings - was discovered in a tightly-bound collection of
the composer's arias by Professor Hans Joachim Marx, a leading Handel
expert at Hamburg University. The work is believed to have been composed in
1707
in Rome and has not been performed since then.
Prof Marx, who is also acting chairman of the Handel Society, said: "I
was very fortunate to find this music. It is something very special which
happens maybe only once or twice in a lifetime for every scholar. The
music is very expressive and full of effects. Perhaps not too many sopranos
will be able to perform this piece."
Prof Marx discovered the work when attempting to draw up a complete
catalogue of Handel's work for the German government. Several leading
Handel experts have examined the piece and acknowledged its authenticity.
Dr John Roberts, the leading Handel expert at the University of
Berkeley in California, said: "I am convinced that this is an authentic new
work.
The density of the texture together with certain rough edges suggests to
me that it dates from the very beginning of Handel's time in Italy. It is
certainly a major discovery."
Professor Michael Talbot, a specialist in Italian baroque music from
the University of Liverpool, said: "The quality of the work is so high
that it will surely join the ranks of Handel's most loved music. For
sopranos
it will become essential repertoire."
Handel was only 21 when he wrote Gloria. He had left Germany to learn
how to write operas in the Italian style in Rome and was swiftly acclaimed
a
genius. Having mastered Italian opera over a period of three years, he
moved to London. He remained there for most of the rest of his life,
spending his final years in a house in Brook Street, Mayfair.
Gloria is believed to have been commissioned by the Roman patron
Francesco Mari Ruspoli. The score was originally in the possession of
Handel's
friend, the singer William Savage. It was Savage's pupil, Robert Stevens,
who
is believed to have given the work to the academy in the early 19th
century.
Professor Curtis Price, the principal of the academy, said: "This is
an exciting discovery, though slightly embarrassing that such an
important piece was found under my nose. The music is fresh, exuberant and
a
little wild in places, but unmistakably Handel."
The work will be given its premiere this Thursday at the Royal Academy
of Music and then performed on June 3 at the International Handel
Festival in Gottingen, Germany.
Jacqueline Riding, the director of the Handel House Museum, said:
"With the discovery of this unknown work and the opening of the composer's
home
as a museum this November, this is an extraordinary year for Handel."

Azz...! Ti ho chiamato "bella pulzella combattiva" e devo moderare i
toni?!  Questo e' il piu' moderato dei miei complimenti....
