This performance of the music of George Frideric Handel proves beyond doubt that his music was so much more than Messiah. Bernard Labadie and La Chapelle de Québec get a handle on Handel in this epic, friendly, and lively performance.

The German composer’s Laudate pueri Dominum(Praise the Lord, Ye Children) is a spine-tingling work for soloist, choir, and orchestra that came out of the composer’s apprenticeship in Rome where he wrote music for the pope and other dignitaries. King George I so loved Handel’s music that one of his last acts was to make Handel a naturalized citizen of Great Britain. Handel’s Coronation Anthems were composed for the crowning of King George II in 1727. 

The opening drumroll of Handel’s Royal Fireworks sounds like distant thunder before it erupts into this orchestral suite that celebrates the treaty ending the War of the Austrian Succession (which, incidentally, also restored Louisbourg of Cape Breton Island to France in 1748). The original performance took place outside and preceded a fireworks display. Handel’s Water Music, had its premiere on a barge on the River Thames, where it entertained King George I in 1717.

English

Cette présentation des œuvres de Georg Friedrich Haendel est la preuve indéniable que sa musique ne se limite pas au Messie. Bernard Labadie et La Chapelle de Québec s’approprient l’œuvre du compositeur dans ce programme grandiose, chaleureux et plein de vie. 

Le Laudate pueri dominum (Louez, enfants, le Seigneur ) du compositeur allemand est une œuvre électrisante pour soliste, chœur et orchestre. Elle a vu le jour durant un apprentissage à Rome, alors que Haendel composait des œuvres pour le pape et d’autres dignitaires. Le roi George Ier aimait tellement la musique du compositeur qu’un de ses derniers gestes fut d’officialiser la naturalisation de Haendel comme citoyen britannique. Les Hymnes du couronnement ont quant à eux été composés pour le sacre du roi George II en 1721.

Dans Musique pour les feux d’artifice royaux, le battement de tambour du début rappelle le roulement lointain du tonnerre. L’œuvre explose ensuite en une suite orchestrale qui célèbre la signature du traité mettant fin à la guerre de Succession d’Autriche (qui a d’ailleurs rendu Louisbourg – sur l’île du Cap-Breton – à la France en 1748). La première de cette œuvre s’est déroulée à l’extérieur avant un spectacle de feux d’artifice, tandis que celle de Water Musica eu lieu en 1717 sur une barque voguant sur la Tamise, sous les applaudissements du roi George Ier.
