Handel has gained a great reputation in Germany, Britain, Italy and even Europe during his nearly 60 years of music career. His works combine the rigorous counterpoint method of Germany, the solo art of Italy and the chorus tradition of Britain, and become a treasure in the history of world music.

Handel's main works
First, "water music"
Also known as water music and boat music. Handel's composition in 17 17 is an orchestra suite. Legend has it that it was played on the Thames in London, England for the newly acceded King George I, so it has the reputation of "water music".
Second, "Messiah"
Hallelujah, the oratorio Messiah, was written in September 174 1. Composer Handel wrote this oratorio Messiah, which is destined to become a classic, in just over twenty days under irresistible passion.
