Abstract

Abstract The performances of Handel’s music in the Chapel Royal before King George I and his family in September and October 1714 demonstrated that the composer had been accepted by the new regime. The established position of the former Hanover Kapellmeister at the English court was confirmed: a year later, George I (in his role as Elector) even went so far as to grant some retrospective payment for his Hanoverian services.
