Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, No. 3, HWV. 321 - George Frideric Handel

Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, No. 3, HWV. 321 by George Frideric Handel

Handel likely composed the 12 works that comprise his ‘Concerti Grossi’ between 1739 and 1740. The works were intended to be performed during intervals in other musical performances. Eventually Handel sold the works as part of a subscription model, which members of the British royal family as well as other wealthy individuals would pay be a priority audience for new compositions.

This work is comprised of five movements: I. Larghetto 00:00 II. Andante 01:37 III. Allegro 03:24 IV. Polonaise 06:21 V. Allegro ma non troppo 10:53
