Who died on this date in 1759. He was no Mozart, Bach, or Haydn, but he was in the top ten of the all time best.
True, Handel was not at the same level as Mozart, Bach or Haydn for me, either,but Handel should be remembered. Messiah isn't near the same level as the Mass in B minor or the Matthew Passion or Art of Fugue but it's got some great moments in it. And while I'm not so huge a fan of Mozart I confess that Hilary Hahn can get me to even like some Mozart. And Haydn, he's wonderful, too. :)
