Handel: Dixit Dominus

4x4 Baroque Music Festival

Jesse Blumberg

Long after the fall of the Roman Empire, the saying that refers to the destination of all roads continued to be particularly apt for musicians.  Young Handel’s first trip abroad brought him to the flourishing musical scene of Italy where he discovered the virtuoso violin music of Corelli and the lavish theater music of Scarlatti.  The centerpiece of the program is Handel’s monumental Dixit Dominus, a work of dazzling virtuosity encompassing Handel’s youthful energy and experimentation.  Tickets & Information.
