Description:
Written in 1739, George Frideric Handel's Concerti Grossi Op. 6 are among the most popular pieces he composed for strings. The stately Larghetto and spirited Allegro ma non troppo of the Concerto No. 3 in E minor make a delightful pairing. Originally scored for two solo (ripieno) violins and cello with accompanying strings and basso continuo, the Larghetto and Allegro have been adapted and re-scored for string orchestra. All parts are within the abilities of intermediate-level groups and are a wonderful way to introduce elements of Baroque style.
