32. BACH AND HANDEL
 A comparison of the autobiographies of Bach and Handel shows
many striking differences and a few similarities
.Bach was a provincial in sense whereas Handel was a cosmopolitan.
Bach was very much of a family man, Handel never married and
never seemed to needs of domestic life
Bach’s life was largely concerned with small ventures and
commonplace problems, Handel’s life centered around big ventures

33. Bach had a long line of musical ancestors,
whereas Handel had virtually no musical ancestry.
It is a curious coincidence of fate that both of
these great masters ended their last years in
blindness

34. KIND OF MUSIC
 Bach’s musical output was chiefly in church music (church cantatas and
sacred organ music); Handel dealt in large dramatic forms (opera and
oratorio)
 Bach’s music is utilitarian for the most part, written in specific
occasions or functions, whereas Handel wrote music on a grand scale and
often for no particular occasion or function.
 Bach used the chorale extensively in his music, Handel made virtually
no use of it.

35. Bach’s output and greatness in organ music are well
known a contrast to the fact that Handel, although a great
organist, wrote very little organ music.
both composers were great masters of chorale music.
Bach music is of an impersonal nature, it may be said
that Handel is the first composer to reveal his personality
through music.

36. DIFFERENCE OF MUSIC STYLE
 Bach’s music is predominantly polyphonic; Handel music is
predominantly homophonic, although both were great masters of baroque
polyphony.
 Bach’s vocal music shows a strong tendency toward musical idiom,
Handel displays a more idiomatic vocal writing.
 Although both composers were fond of regular rhythms, Bach often has
a stronger more driving rhythm.
 Bach’s harmony, on the whole, is richer and more ingenious than that of
Handel.

37. JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
( GERMAN, 1685-1750 )
 He ranks as one of the musical giants of all time. His importance in
music history cannot be exaggerated. He is known as an “Organ
Virtuoso” than as a composer. His inspiration to write music was
encouraged by the position he held since most of his music was written
for either a particular church or noble patrons. Bach is known as the
“:Father of Organ Music”. Besides composing church music, he
experimented with every compositional form of his time except opera.

39. H I S W E L L K N OW N C O M P O S I T I O N S A R E :
 The well-tempered clavier
 The gold berg variations
 The art fugue
 Mass in B minor
 Toccata and fugue in D minor Brandenburg concertos

40. GE ORGE FRE DE RICK HANDE L
( GE RMAN, 1685 -1759 )
Mastered several national styles in turn, writing opera in
Neapolitan style, instrumental music in German and Italian
style, and religious chorale music incorporating aspects of
English style. Handel's music is characterized as extraverted
grandiose and dramatic. “oratorio and opera” are the most
important forms in Handel’s music.

The messiah
Judas Maccabeus
Water music
