The Handel sonatas are my most favorite of all! sheer beauty, elegant, sublime, and they just sing out like a lark in the morning. Music by a true master!
Love Händel! The D minor Largo was the first piece of music specifically written for recorder that I learned to play. Petri's Händel sonata CD is one of my favorites, listen to it often.
Your excitement is inspiring. I'm feeling a gooey place in my heart for classical music I haven't wanted to play for a long time. My dad would give me sheet music for classical pieces and I had no clue what they were supposed to sound like. He'd get all starry-eyed when I (a 12-year-old alto sax player who didn't appreciate her talent) played it well. You've got me wanting to go back to basics and re-internalise my instinctive metronome, which sprung its gears years ago and is a flat out wonky now. Gaah! My Christmas haul was a soprano, alto, and tenor recorder. Thanks for sharing your passion for music and this beautiful instrument.
I'm still hypnotised when I see Brüggen and Leonhart playing Handel. I thank you Sarah, for this recorder channel on You Tube. I feel less alone, here in my town in France...
Oh Sarah...I already love your channel, but this video really takes the cake! I feel like so often Handel is overlooked in favor of more flashy, or difficult Baroque pieces, but (in my humble opinion), they are some of the most beautifully written pieces for the recorder! Although I originally came to them by way of my beginnings as a flutist, it's when I approached them on the recorder that I really connected to them. I almost always have them on my stand, and are often my favorite warm up pieces! Thank you so much for being such so darn awesome!!!
My 11yo son and myself we just started the Sonata in C together. I play the recorder, he plays the piano. Months of work and fun are coming with the « red » edition of the sonatas.
Oh my! This video is amazing! I love Händel. I'm actually studying the A minor and G minor sonatas with a violoncellist, and I love it. Could you make a video about the Macello's recorder sonatas? I hope so
Brilliant! I'm working my way through the Sonatas - love the way Handel pinches bits & pieces from other works - slightly different notes but recognisable rhythm e.g. the Vivace in Sonata in D minor where parts are reminiscent of the Hornpipe in the Water Music.
Thank you so much Sarah! I play Sonata in C-Major, F-Major and g-Minor. The Allegro II from C-Major is really hard to Fingercontrol in sixteen notes and Gavotta IV + Allegro V sounds like virtuosic piece of music. But in my opinion, the first Larghetto from C-Major is the most beautiful piece for Recorder ever. ;)
Hi, Sarah. You, as always, put out pretty nice videos. Love Händel's recorder sonatas. My preferred is the G minor one. I really love its first lyrical and sad movement. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I have just been released from my Beginner's Book - and straight to Händel's Sonata in F Major... I have never really played baroque music, so this video was really helpful, thank you!
I love the Handel sonatas. I've tried copying the ornamentation from recordings before without much success. My difficulty there is working out what's actually going on. I'll have to give it another go.
4:25 As a native Spanish speaker it is funny to me how you pronounce Händel in English 🙂. We say /hendel/ since the standard German A-umlaut (ä) represents a sound similar to the vowel in the English word _bet._ It is maybe because he became English and his name was anglicized.
Nosotros pronunciamos como aleman "jendel". Tienes razon, ella pronuncia "jandol".... pero creo que si yo lo pronunciara asi en mi circulo me verian raro jajaja
That's exactly what happened. He became Mr Handel in England, pronounced like "hand". Also Georg Friederich became George Friderick. ("Friderick" is a bit unusual, so sometimes his name is found as the more usual "Frederick", but it was "Friderick" on the legal document that made him a naturalized British subject). So English speakers usually go with the anglicized version of both spelling and pronunciation of his name, while German speakers naturally use the original German spelling and pronunciation (complete with umlaut). Speakers of other languages can use whichever they please, I suppose.
The Handel Sonatas were the first pieces I really decided to get into. I even found some accompaniment disks to have something to play along with, which helped a lot, especially in the slow movements. :-) Thanks for this!
I wish I'd known such things existed. I made my own "accompaniment disks" using some computer software that involved inputting every note individually by mouse clicking on the keys of an on-screen keyboard. Took absolutely ages, but it was worth it.
Great intro to Handel sonatas. I'm learning the one in C major now. Really nice comparison of ornaments used by different players. I decided to use the one by Michala Petri since it sounds natural and not too fancy.
The first piece I ever did in a competition was the C Major so I have er, MAJOR nostalgia for it! I am now trying to pick just two movements for an upcoming festival from one of them (due to time constraints with other pieces in the recital..) And I'm having SUCH a hard time choosing. Maybe this video will help me decide...
Haendel wasn't born in London, though, but in Halle, Germany. :D - slip of the tongue at (00.18) I do love Handel! His non-vocal music often has a "singing" quality to it that makes it especially pleasant to my ears. As an opera composer, he wrote beautifully for the great virtuosos of his time. In his later career he achieved a great emotional depth by setting to music very intense librettos.
I played the first mov from the C Major as a processional for my wife. I also played the F major from memory in a concert, but had to improvise the second movement because I had a brain fart and TOTALLY forgot it. My accompanist was professional enough to "just play her part". :-) But I've played all of the them at one point or another. Thanks! BTW, you didn't play the Hans-Martin Linde version of the C Major. His was the first ornamentation that I've listened to.
Brilliant introduction to Handel's recorder sonatas - I have only played the G minor which I love but am inspired to try the others. I have always struggled to make much of the 3rd movement - but your suggestion of thinking about the continuo might help: trouble is I have lost the cd that came with my Dowani play along version - aarghh!!! Also, is it ok to be a bit cheeky when playing the repeat of the final part (Presto/VI)? I like to use double tonguing for bars 14, 15 (not true double tonguing just playing every note twice really fast), and even singing along whilst playing.
I'm having a smack myself in the head moment here. I've been playing these for years. I learned them from a book which I bought on a whim one day - it is published by Barenreiter and titled "Eleven Sonatas for Flute (Recorder)" Of the 11 sonatas, only four are identified as "recorder" sonatas - G minor, A minor, C major and F major - they fit nicely in the alto recorder range, lovely. The others are all labelled "flute" sonatas, and they aren't so alto-friendly - so I play them on a tenor, which is my favourite recorder anyway, so I'm not complaining. But when you mentioned a D minor sonata and played a bit of it which I instantly recognised, my first thought was, "Hang on, this is in B minor when I play it..." Seems like I bought the wrong book 😁
At risk of sounding like the class dunce, do you have any direction for the detailed execution of trills as for Handel, Loeillet G maj, Telemann, Vivaldi A minor? I think that would be really useful.
Wait, did my flute teacher just throw a recorder sonata (the F major and A minor one) at me for my flute classes with him? XD but ngl it is the most beautiful piece he gave me to learn.
Thank you Sarah for your introduction to the Handel Sonatas. I've made efforts to play some of the sonatas over the years. Like some pieces by Johann "no-place-to-breathe" Bach, I find Handel's sonatas rewarding to revisit. There is always something new to discover and something new to try. (For example, thanks to your videos, I'm starting to cotton on to double and triple tonguing.) Two years ago, I prepared the F major sonata for the Grade 6 Royal Conservatory of Music examination. My teacher recorded me playing the third and fourth movements during a recital... soundcloud.com/user-588460209. (After about a minute of silence, there is also a piece by Brian Bonsor.)
One of my favourite Handel movements EVER is the first one (Larghetto) from the Sonata in F major, HWV 369 (Op. 1, No. 11). It's absolutely beautiful, and actually has a very nostalgic feel to it. The legendary Danish recorder player Michala Petri recorded (no pun intended) this with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, so instead of having a continuo (i.e. harpsichord and cello) it's almost a concerto or suite. Beautiful.
Taking my first dive into recorder Handel. Putting together a program with a cellist friend of my that currently includes a Hotteterre suite, likely a Division Flute selection, me doing an unaccompanied either von Eyck or Telemann and she an unaccompanied cello something, and likely rounding things off with at least a couple movements of a Handel sonata. And maybe highlights from Corelli La Folia (because apparently I’ve lost my mind). Handel, deciding likely between F major which I’ve accompanied a zillion times for flute players, C major for its lovely first movement, or A minor for its energetic fast movements.
Ah! At last! My favourite music for the Recorder by another Baroque Giant. Sound waves that penetrate one's rib cage straight to one's heart. Lucie Horsch's beautiful rendition of the HWV 367, is on the UA-cam. Thanks for this cursory introduction. Perhaps you could treat us to each of the sonatas individually piece meal like you did with BWV 1013?
Just got my own copy of the Blockflötensonaten from Händel by Amadeus. I am so excited to practice. Since I play the recorder for only 5 month it will be a real challenge 😱
this was really helpful! :D i'd love to learn the major sonatas as i've only played the sonatas in g and a minor (actually playing the a minor in my exam this year). there's just so much to work with ✨ i'm really falling in love with these pieces
Hello Sarah! I love recorder music! And Händel! But its interesting that you do not like Bachs recorder music! Is it because he did´nt play a wind instrument? Not so natural recorder music by him! Have a merry christmas Sarah! Love from Sweden!
Thanks Sarah, we love Handel :) and this was very well put together am going to work on sole Handel this coming Saturday during my practice session - results to follow
Thank you Sarah for all your glamorous lessons ;°) I love the sound of your recorder, which model is it please ? I am searching for a model with loud and powerful sound but not creacky on high notes
The Dowani publications are worth mentioning. They come with a CD with full backing tracks as well as three tempi practise versions. I have the G minor, C major, A minor and F major. Some of the backing tracks are in two parts but can easily be joined up in a wave editor.
Played the F major for a recital a couple of years ago and it will always be a great fun and lighthearted piece in my repertoire! So great. And when you said about the tied notes and dissonance, i really felt that lmao. Heart-eyes for Handel :-)
BLAGHH I MEANT TO SAY ‘BORN IN GERMANY’ NOT LONDON I AM APPARENTLY A HUMAN BEING WHO CANNOT USE WORDS
As you said, it is very hot there right now.
Never mind, let's focus on his music, which is really excellent!!! I'm just working on the d-minor sonata. So incredibly beautiful...
He was born in Halle, which is my home town actually. That's why I got a bit mad haha
@@vincentbrock2717 I visited Halle once, a pilgrimage. Meant a lot to me...
Hey, is it possible to get the books you mentioned in electronic copies
I've been playing the Händel sonatas for 52 years now. I'm still not tired of them.
The Handel sonatas are my most favorite of all! sheer beauty, elegant, sublime, and they just sing out like a lark in the morning. Music by a true master!
I really love your consistency and enthusiasm about this channel. I am so glad you exist :)
Amazing video! Especially the moment you play the different versions from different soloists!
Agreed!
Thank you for this! I had been trying to learn a couple of movements from the Handel sonatas, and this has motivated me to try again.

Thanks, brilliant intro. to the sonatas, pickt up the recorder again after 5 years pause
Thank you very much - especially counting eights in the slow movements is a great help. I´m playing Handel Sonatas on Bass recorder with piano :)
Fabulous job !! Thank you. Superb shop talk relevant ‘even’ to a saxophone player like me.
Hi :) I've just bought my Haendel sonatas !!!! Can't wait to receive them ! :) Thank you Sarah ! :)

I love the Handel sonatas. I've tried copying the ornamentation from recordings before without much success. My difficulty there is working out what's actually going on. I'll have to give it another go.
I wonder: would it be easier if you tried to copy the ornamentation by singing it first? I don't know, it is just a thought.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

I'm learning the A Minor by ear - the fast movements are REALLY quick!
Very, very good!!

The first thing my recorder teacher started me on was the Handel Sonatas. (I wasn't a new player, just seeking improvement.)
I love Handel and I love this video.
Best part of the video is you playing in other professional's style! Erok Bosgraaf's was my favorite.
have played F major on Ocarina and the Flute! Handel is Great!
I love Handels music, so much that i am walking out to the Hallelujah chorus from my wedding

Arent these just the organ concertos? Ive played quite a few of these on the organ.
Did you really say "Born in London" at 0:17? Sarah, I can't believe that...
so?
@@colsov4822 He wasn't born in London. He was actually born in Halle, a german City.
She made a comment stating her mistake 😁
Can I use any range of recorder? E.g a soprano recorder?
I really love all of your videos!!! I come to this channel to find repertoire and I also love the way you teach. I loved this video a lot, keep it up.
Thank you!
You look beautiful today and great video.
I am assuming that these sonatas sounds best on alto.Was that the original intent of Handel? Does anyone play them on soprano?
You would need to transpose it to play on soprano!
Pls Sarah play Macabeus by G.F Handel
What do you think of the Emerson, Bärenreiter and (gulp) Peters edition? And is there an Urtext edition?
Can you make a video how to play riffs runs and teach it maybe from the bluesscale pentatonic scale?
Are these pieces only for Alto recorder?
Yes. Some of the movements may be payable on a C-Recoder, but they are composed to be played on an F-Recorder.
@@DAOFB Thank you.
0:17 Händel was not born in London, he was born in the German city of Hälle....

Hi Sarah, sorry but he was born in Halle, not in London...I love his sonates and played them, you made me remember to revise.....
Handel was born in Halle Germany,
Later he went to England
I think the D minor is much the hardest of these sonatas.
A different order of difficulty, in fact.
That ä should be pronounced as the vowel in 'said.'
Depends. Since Händel lived most of his life in England, it's not obvious what the pronunciation "should" be.
ˈhɛn.dəl
@@therealzilch I doubt he pronounced it in the same way she does.
@@edram4051 Hard to say, isn't it?
Handle Handel. Can't believe i laughed.
"Born in London"? Pls fix
Can Händel's music survive jazz embellishments?
GOOD QUESTION
*cough* Telemann too. B minor anyone? And Bach of course...
skip ad 1:14
Händel born in London?

Dear Sarah Beautiful video thank you I have developed a newly acquired taste for Handel.
as an oboist coming newly to recorder, Handel is wonderfully musical and familiar!
I looove his oratorios. Now I discover he is a reference for recorder too.
Love your tutorials always with great love and respect for the music Lovely
Played the F major for a recital a couple of years ago and it will always be a great fun and lighthearted piece in my repertoire! So great. And when you said about the tied notes and dissonance, i really felt that lmao. Heart-eyes for Handel :-)
