George Frederic Handel was one of the leading composers of the baroque, especially known for his Italian operas.  When he presented his dramatic oratorio Israel in Egypt in 1739 it flopped.  It has since returned to favour, and this recording by Apollo's Fire shows why this turnaround has happened.  Put simply, the music is stunning.

Everyone longs for a comforter in times of trouble. Not just words, but someone to come along beside us, and help carry the load with us, or at least to understand and sympathize with our trouble.--The great irony of the suffering and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus is this- in order to comfort us by saving us, it was necessary that Christ have no man to comfort Him---This was foretold by the Spirit of Christ to the Psalmist David in Psalm 69. There it was said of Christ, that He would suffer rebukes, and shame, and dishonor, and false accusations from wicked men. He would take upon Himself the sins of His people, and treat them as His very own, suffering for them in our place.--The Psalmist denounced those wicked men- -For they persecute him whom thou -God- hast smitten- and they talk to the grief of those whom thou -God- hast wounded.---The great composer George Frederic Handel, in his oratorio -Messiah,- put it this way---Thy rebuke hath broken His heart- -He is full of heaviness. -He looked for some to have pity on Him, -but there was no man, -neither found He any to comfort Him. -Behold, and see if there be any sorrow -like unto His sorrow.--It was, of course, God's rebuke, and God's strokes against Jesus. It was the reproach of our sins that fell on Jesus.--There was no man anywhere to comfort Him, because nobody understood the travail of Christ's soul that day.--No man could come along side Jesus, to help bear His heavy load.--In that crucial sense, the Lord Jesus was quite alone. There was no other human being who could understand what He was suffering, much less help Him endure it-

In this episode, we look at the soundtrack of the 1996 movie of Jane Austen's Emma by Rachel Portman. We listen to how the clarinet is Emma's voice and how the instrumentation, time signature, and major vs minor are often used to change mood or characters. We also pay to attention to how her emotional journey and theme changes throughout as well as the comedy and matchmaking theme. Finally, we compare the songs performed by Emma and Jane and how the words convey meaning to Frank Churchill's attentions.

In his debut solo album, star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo pairs two iconic composers: George Frederic Handel and Philip Glass. While the two may seem at opposite ends of the musical spectrum, Costanzo draws fascinating parallels between Handel and Glass and ties it all together in this wonderful disc – which he joins us to preview.

The Classical period was an era of classical music between roughly 1730 and 1820. The German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is widely regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived. Let's identify some of the best known western music composers who lived during the 17th and 18th centuries and composed baroque, romantic and classical music. 17th Century - Famous composers of the Baroque period Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) Henry Purcell (1659-95) Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) Heinrich Schütz (German: [ʃʏt͡s]; 18 October [O.S. 8 October] 1585 – 6 November 1672) was a German composer and organist, generally regarded as the most important German composer before Johann Sebastian Bach and one of the most important composers of the 17th century. 18th Century - Famous composers of the Romantic period Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) ... Franz Liszt (1811-1886) ... Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) ... Richard Wagner (1813-1883) ... Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847) ... Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) ... Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) ... Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) The Romantic period started around 1830 and ended around 1900, as compositions became increasingly expressive and inventive. Expansive symphonies, virtuosic piano music, dramatic operas, and passionate songs took inspiration from art and literature. The Classical period falls between the Baroque and the Romantic periods. Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music, but a more sophisticated use of form. It is mainly homophonic, using a clear melody line over a subordinate chordal accompaniment, but counterpoint was by no means forgotten, especially in liturgical vocal music and, later in the period, secular instrumental music. It also makes use of style galant which emphasized light elegance in place of the Baroque's dignified seriousness and impressive grandeur. Variety and contrast within a piece became more pronounced than before and the orchestra increased in size, range, and power. Johannes Brahms was the great master of symphonic and sonata style in the second half of the 19th century. He can be viewed as the protagonist of the Classical tradition of Joseph Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Book Title: Music in the Western World The book provides letters, critiques or concert reviews at that time. Piero Weiss was an Italian-American pianist and musicologist. Born in Trieste, his mother was a symphony violinist and the niece of novelist Italo Svevo. In 1938, at the age of 10, he fled Fascist Italy with his family, ending up in New York City in 1940.

Texts are well-chosen and entirely relevant to the period being discussed. You get to hear from all sorts of people, from composers, to critics, to philosophers, and the texts offered take the form of letters, articles, reviews, autobiographies. All is given within a clear historical context, with reference to such events as the Reformation, French Revolution, and World Wars. Source: ThriftBooks (online reseller). Maurizio Pollini is an Italian pianist born in Milan, Italy. He is known for performances of compositions by Beethoven, Chopin and Debussy, among others. Michel Block (Piano) Born: Jun 12, 1937 - Antwerp, Belgium Died: March 4, 2003 - Bloomington, Indiana, USA The Belgian pianist, Michel Block, was born in Antwerp to French parents. He was still a child when his family moved to Mexico, where his grandfather had settled in 1870. Block's father, likewise born in Europe, had moved to Mexico when he was 19. Block studied piano there as a youth, later relocating to New York where he enrolled at the Juilliard School. Among his teachers was Beveridge Webster.

Attribute: Soli Deo Gloria - God's own purpose At the bottom of his musical compositions, Johann Sebastian Bach, would write three capital letters . . . SDG.  George Frederic Handel did the same at the end of his writing "The Messiah" oratorio.  The letters stood for the Latin words soli Deo gloria . . . glory to God alone.  Bach and Handel knew that the purpose for music, like the purpose for all creation, is the glory of the Creator.               We know the answer to the well-known first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism … "What is the chief end of man?"  The answer is … "The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever."  We know from verses like 1 Corinthians 10:31 that we should do everything for the glory of God.  "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." What we might not often think about is that God does everything He does for His glory.  There are scores of verses that reveal that wondrous reality to us.  He called Israel to be His special people for His glory (Isa 43,6,7); He leads His people in paths of righteousness for His sake (Psa 23:3); He forgives our sins for His own sake (Isa 43:25); He grants salvation in Christ for the praise of His glory (Eph 1:13,14).  All things were created for His glory (Rom 11:36). God does everything He does for His glory.  And the Scriptures explicitly link how we should live our lives to the glory of God.  We should live in harmony with each other that we "may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom 15:6).  We should keep ourselves sexually pure for the glory of God (1 Cor 6:18-20).  We should be zealous to do good deeds for God's glory (Mt 5:16).  Being thankful to God is a way of glorifying Him (Psa 86:12).  And categorically Paul declares that we should do everything we do for God's glory (1 Cor 10:31).
