Handel's Bass Solos In His Oratorios, Ronald E. Jones
Handel's Bass Solos In His Oratorios, Ronald E. Jones
All Master's Theses
Handel, recognized as a great Baroque composer, has had his vocal compositions performed by most serious singers.

A Historical Survey Of The Relevance Of Music In Man's Philosophy, Annette R. Arnold
All Master's Theses
