Notes:

"The works of Donald Burrows": pages 429-441.Includes bibliographical references and index.Much like a baroque "dramma per musica," this book is divided into a three parts. Part I introduces the principal characters: Handel's musical works in different genres and diverse aspects of his musical style and creative practices. Part II develops complications to the plot: there is new information about the authenticity and chronology of works and analysis of musical, literary and documentary sources. Part III brings all of these scholarly strands together and leads to a set of outcomes; a fresh examination of the broader context of Handel's music in relation to his contemporaries and collaborators sits alongside reception studies. This collection will be essential reading for baroque music admirers, performers, experts and students. David Vickers is Lecturer in Academic Studies at Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester) and Council Member of the Handel Institute.
