"Brad Leissa created this web site in 1995, in an attempt to make information on Handel (the man, the composer, and his music) more accessible to the ever-growing internet community. In May 2001 the English Handel musicologist David Vickers joined this effort as co-producer of GFHandel.org.

In our opinion, Handel deserves unequivocal recognition as one of the greatest composers, comfortably equal in artistic stature to other 18th century figures such as J.S. Bach, F.J. Haydn, W.A. Mozart, etc. We hope this web site serves as a valuable resource for both Handelian scholars and enthusiasts.

We aim to maintain accuracy in our presentation of musicological information about Handel, and give references to musicological publications whenever possible. Nevertheless, if you spot any errors or wish to submit constructive comments, please contact us. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Welcome to Lyra Viol Music's Gateway
The lyra viol is a somewhat smaller cousin to the bass viola da gamba. These bowed instruments, unlike their namesake the modern viola, are held vertically between the legs like a cello and are bowed at waist level. Viols additionally differ from "modern" string instruments by coming equipped with six or seven strings and frets like a guitar.

The lyra viol is further distinguished from other gambas by the practice of utilizing a large variety of different tuning systems. This practice enables the performer to make a single lyra viol often sound like several instruments at once and achieve different sonorities and qualities of resonance. Twenty-two different tunings are found in one single seventeenth century British source alone, The Manchester Lyra Viol collection, and over twice that number have been found overall.

Lyra music is often extremely emotionally and intellectually engaging and presents yet another example of the depth and power of the Elizabethan culture that produced this unusual musical form. All the written music for the viol "played lyra-way" appears in tablature, a simplified system of notation often preferred by modern beginning guitar players. " Visit website for more information.
