Handel rocks my little universe.

The man could write an alto line that isn't awful.

This pretty much makes him a shoo-in for sainthood in my book.

It's even better in Welsh. :) "Cans i nyni fe aned Mab, i nyni fe aned baban..."

He was a funny, eccentric dude, too. Short-tempered and spoke with a heavy German accent and broken English until the day he died. Very funny to read accounts from his British contemporaries.

Yeah, tell me about it. Being an alto is like playing French horn in an orchestra. The number of composers who treat you like a rhythm section is criminal.
