What reading level is Two Lectures On the Genius of Handel, And the Distinctive Character of His Sacred Compositions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I recollect reading somewhere, long ago, an anec- dote of a gentleman telling him, " Handel, you ought to have Salisbury Plain for your music- hall, armies for your chorus, and artillery for your kettle-drums." Now you will observe it is a mark of real power and of very elevated capacity for a composer to produce what is great and at the same time simple. In a musician thoroughly versed in the mysteries of his science, there * It is proposed to have a performance this year, 1862-, even on a stU...l grander scale, and with increased effect The Genius of Handel. 53 is a great temptation to bring forward at all times the deep resources of his art, and to employ striking discords and intricate harmonies to express his ideas. But he should know, if he be really great, when to trust to nature and to leave his science. Handel was, at the same time, most profound and most simple. He knew well how to employ great science, and there are pieces in which science has its full exercise — no intricacy of fugue or harmony perplexed him ; but there are passages which he feels cannot derive their force except from sounds which are in accordance with the simple grandeur of the sentiments they express.
