| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Handel's oratorios are commonly thought to be monotonous middle-class works, as his Italian operas used to be thought ridiculous, but if individual works are closely analysed, they will be found to be rich and diverse. It is because Handel’s oratorio composition was closely connected with Fielding’s playwriting of farces and burlesques.
Handel started his oratorio-only performance with the success of Messiah, but it did not go smoothly as Semele and Joseph and His Brethren show. The charms of those works will be found if they are listened to in the context of Pamela controversy. Handel continued to compose fine oratorios until his death.
