PREFACE : From the middle of the eighteenth centuary there has been no end of the 'making of books' on Groege Frederick Handel. So why should there be any reason For yet another book on the composer? The bibliography at the back of this book catalogues a few of the diverse books that have been researched and produced on this most gifted of men. It was a long life of the greatest achievement. Aman who came from Germany and changed the face of music in his adopted land. This book is simply not another learned treartise on any aspect of Handel or his work. It is written as a general survey of his live and times. There is no great scholarship, no exposition of profound learning. It is a small effort to make a great man more assessable. The work is Messiahless, a work so mighty that it is beyond comment and quote. There is nothing to add or say about a work of God given inspiration. David Allan. Christmas 1999.
