9 June 2010\u00a0 – In the Wake of Handel \u2013 the impact of Handel and his music on 300 years of British culture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite his German birth, and his Italian musical training, Handel remains one of the most important composers that England ever nurtured.\u00a0 Not only did his music have direct influence on his musical contemporaries, but his larger-than-life personality had a profound effect on the literary, visual and decorative arts as well \u2013 both in his lifetime and after his death, in 1759.\u00a0 The lecture assesses the cultural influences Handel had on a nation<\/em>, as he once wrote, from which I have receiv\u2019d so generous a protection.<\/em><\/p>\n
