Hymns by Händel

Programme of hymns by Georg Friedrich Händel performed by the Cor de Cambra del Palau at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona.

Georg Friedrich Händel (Halle, 1685 – London, 1759) was a German-born composer who became a naturalised British subject. He wrote the oratorio Messiah, premièred in Dublin in 1742, and the anthem Zadok the Priest, composed for the coronation of George II in 1727.

Under the title Himnes de Händel, the Cor de Cambra del Palau performs a programme centred on the composer's hymns, in a choral music format.

The Palau de la Música Catalana, a Modernist work by Lluís Domènech i Montaner and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, is a concert hall in Barcelona that also hosts exhibitions and cultural activities.
