Handel (sic) had been completely anglicised by the time he wrote these pieces; in the same way, Lully should be spelled with his French spelling rather than the original Italian Lulli.
Rubbish - how can somebody be "completely somethinged" after having learned and been trained in music in Germany, a most important time for the development of anybody and after having developped his very typical idiom and craftmanship in the country he was born in, which was Germany and after having lived in Germany for about his first twenty years he already was a master.
@@bosareva Your reply is not helpful. Whilst Handel’s initial training was indeed in Germany, no serious commentator has ever claimed that he learned much beyond how to be a musician and musical grammar from Zachow; in terms of style, it was his years in Italy immediately after he left Germany as a young man that defined him a composer. That Italian style was then tweaked to English tastes by someone I consider to be an absolute ‘A’ list composer. There is almost nothing In Handel’s music that defines him as a German composer in the manner of JS Bach or Telemann for example where there is no doubt whatsoever in either case; indeed the greatest works of Bach and of Handel are in such entirely different genres that despite being born in the same year in the same country, they are as different from each other as they are to the third of the class of ‘85 Domenico Scarlatti.* Like almost everyone else with whom I raise the point, you also side-step the almost identical case of Lully (born in one country but naturalised into another) where it would be absurd to insist that he was Italian, claim that his music was Italian, and that we should spell his name Lulli; the same applies to Handel regarding Germany. * Unlike Handel and Lully who became respectively naturalised British and French subjects, Scarlatti remained Italian (born in the Kingdom of Naples, no name change, no naturalisation, et cetera; ditto Boccherini later).
