CONTENTS

Together with Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, Handel's twelve Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, are the pinnacle of the baroque concerto. These works are endlessly inventive in structure, rhythm, phrasing, and color, with moods ranging from serious and tragic to expansive and serene, to light, lively, and playful. They have been staple parts of the concerto repertoire for over two centuries.

This volume reproduces the full scores of all twelve of these masterpieces, along with the six Concerti Grossi, Op. 3, and the Concerto Grosso "Alexander's Feast" in C-Major — a total of nineteen — exactly as they appear in the original edition of the Deutsche Händelgesellschaft.

These full orchestral scores are uncut. This is the only large print, moderately priced edition of Handel's complete Concerti Grossi currently available. Printed on opaque paper.
