A better headline would be - “Do you have a handle on Handel?”

I bet the libs will call him racist and claim he had slaves. I think we need to track the past history of these loud mouthed libs and find out who of them had family that owned slaves-THAT would be funny.

“...Although his family discouraged him from a musical career, his astonishing natural talent proved unstoppable...”
You might say that he “got a handle” on his musical talent...

Handel had a way with vocal lines the way Bach had a way with counterpoint. (tho’ both did either extremely well)

But do you know about Handel?According to Pappus of Alexandria, Archimedes' work on levers caused him to remark: "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth" (Greek: δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω).
That's right up there with "Eureka!"
John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Arguably the most beautiful, majestice composition ever written.
That noted, it's important to bear in mind the following:
-- It's not "The Messiah"; it's "Messiah"
-- It's not "Home Depot"; it's "The Home Depot"
-- and, most importantly, it's not "Macallan" scotch; it's "The Macallan"

I'm not the biggest Handel fan, possibly because I over-listened as a youth, but any guy who is bad-ass enough to get into a nearly deadly sword fight with another composer (Mattheson) over some minor musical elements is invited to my table any day!
