My husband and I used this as the recessional music at our wedding...he said that I was the nightingale and he was the cuckoo~lol. We both loved this piece...so beautiful.
"He is the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb." - Ludwig van Beethoven "Handel understands effect better than any of us - when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ... my feelings exactly - and glad to know I'm in good company. And damn those wishy-washy academic music critics.
A brilliant piece of music. Once you hear the allegro building up and then the sounds of the birds, it brings the tune to life , and allows you to appreciate the noises created. Although a slow start it's really worth waiting for . Beautiful
This is wonderful music, performed superbly. The first movement is like a healing balm. I'm a musician, and I can't even imagine the genius and creativity of Mr. Handel's brain. (Also Monteverdi, Bach, Rameau, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, etc.)
Yes I did respond to make people aware that there is more to it. Because, as in my other videos with multiple movements like Buxtehude's Jesu Meine Freude or Vivaldi's Stabat Mater etc, most people don't realize that there is more to it.. So I post them as response to eachother:)
Yes. The two reasons why I didn't use that spelling are: a) THe special characters that I don't have on my keyboard unless I copy/paste it every time I need to spell it, b) The spelling I use is Handel's own choice, although it is not the original spelling of his true name (which I think I'd prefer myself if I was Handel, bwahahahaa:)))
Rather than argue trivially about the technicalities of Handel's work. You should be more worried about the extinction of the creatures imitated within this novel piece of pastoral delight.

The organ in this recording is tuned to quarter comma meantone, which sounds quite old fashioned and different to modern ears, but I like it.
