George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Episode 2 of 5: London

Handel becomes composer in residence at Cannons and makes London his permanent home.

Handel quickly found his feet in London. He was introduced at court and Queen Anne moved to grant him a regular pension. He found himself with a a steady stream of lucrative commissions and began to develop a brand new vocal genre that would soon take his adopted nation by storm. Esther becomes the first English Oratorio. Presented by Donald Macleod.
