Description
George Frideric Handel's (1685-1759) Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 (also Twelve Grand Concertos, HWV 319-330), are a collection of twelve concerti grossi for two violins and cello with an accompanying four-part string orchestra and harpsichord continuo, and they are among the best examples of the Baroque concerto grosso. Modeled more on Arcangelo Corelli's concerto da chiesa and concerto da camara than on Antonio Vivaldi's three-movement form adopted by J.S. Bach, these 1739 works were composed to be performed during the intermissions of Handel's oratorios. Among the twelve Concerto Grosso can be found a mixture of original music and music borrowed from other works by the composer. No. 1 in G Major, HWV 319, borrows from the overture of Handel's Italian opera Imeneo, reworking it completely for the first movement. The fifth and final movement also quotes liberally from Domenico Scarlatti's Keyboard Sonata in G Major, K. 2. Instrumentation: 0.2.0.1: 0.0.0.0: Str (2-2-2-1-1 in set): 2Hpchd (in score): Soli Vn(2).Solo Vc (in set). This edition includes 2 oboes that were later added by Handel, and also an optional bassoon part to play the continuo with the celli and bass. The Harpsichord I part plays from the Solo Violoncello while the Harpsichord II part plays with the tutti continuo part. Reprint of the critical edition by Adolf Hoffmann and Hans Ferdinand Redlich, part of the Hallische Handel Ausgabe. The original strings-only version is also published by Kalmus as A1150.
