His enormous output includes works that are widely acknowledged as pinnacles ofMozart symphonic, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Many of his works are part of the standard concert  repertoire and are widely recognised as masterpieces of the classical style.

George Frederic Handel
(February 23rd 1685 - April 14th 1759) was a German/British Baroque composer who was a leading composer of concerti grossi, operas and oratoria. Born in Germany as Georg Friedrich Händel  he lived most of his adult life in England, becoming a subject of the British crown on 22nd of January 1727.

Handel’s most famous piece is the ‘Messiah’, an oratorio set to texts from the King James Bible (an excerpt of it is played by the chimes of the Houses of Parliament in London).

Other well-known works are Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks. He deeply influenced many of the composers who came after him, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, and his work helped lead the transition from the Baroque to the Classical era.
