George Fredric Handel
23 February 1685 - 14 April 1759
Beloved wife, lover beloved, where are you?
Ah! My wrath returns!
In the altar of your dark Érebos,
with the force of my indignation,
I challenge you, oh unworthy spirits!
Ah! My wrath returns!
In the altar of your dark Érebos,
with the force of my indignation,
I challenge you, oh unworthy spirits!
Cara Sposa, an aria from his opera, Rinaldo, which he regarded as one of his favorites.

Now THERE's an important composer: His birthday season is two weeks long! :^>
I've been otherwise occupied, getting the second edition of my book ready to be published. Now that project is finished and I can get back to my blogs. :)
