Hallelujah Handel! CD
Katarina, first introduced in Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery, has left Venice for England with her grandfather. At an elegant - though rather bizarre- party in London, she meets the great composer George Frideric Handel. Katarina and Maestro Handel are drawn together by the haunting voice of Thomas, a young boy brought by his keeper to sing for the assembled guests. Katarina and Handel are filled with compassion for the boy and gradually unravel his strange past. Through the kindness of Katarina, the generosity of the famous composer and the power and majesty of Handel's music, Thomas's heart is healed, unlocking the voice of an angel.
Hallelujah Handel brings to life the soundscapes of 18th century London and is filled with more than two dozen excerpts of Handel's most glorious music including the Sarabande in D-, Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, and of course, Messiah.
In a darkened room behind London's famous Opera House there is a young, orphaned boy (Thomas) who sings like an angel but refuses to speak. Young Katarina (introduced in Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery) has left France with her grandfather, the Duke. In London, she meets the great composer Handel at a party, where they are captivated by Thomas who "sings like an angel." Katarina and the composer are enthralled by his talented voice. Handel's generosity and kindness toward this boy and the sharing of his past help earn Thomas's trust and heal his spirit - inspiring him to use his beautiful voice in song and speech. More than 30 excerpts of Handel's music are featured, including Julius Caesar, Rinaldo, The Messiah, Water Music, Fireworks, the Harp Concerto and several flute sonatas.
