EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Preggio e sol d un alma forte, f. 6v from Additional Songs for Rinaldo" by George Frederick Handel. The artwork, created in c. 1717 using pen and ink on paper, measures 24x30 cm and is part of the esteemed Gerald Coke Handel Collection at the Foundling Museum in London. The image reveals a black ink manuscript on 10-stave paper, containing four arias in full score. At the top of page one, we find the title "Additional Songs for Rinaldo 1717" written in ink by another hand. It has been identified that RM4 was responsible for copying this manuscript according to Hallische Handel-Ausgabe (HHA). Interestingly, two additional sources are mentioned alongside this manuscript: source R from HHA's critical edition of Rinaldo 1711 and a Shaftesbury manuscript titled La Lucretia which also contains these four arias. At the end of the document, eight bars of unidentified music penned by Jennens can be seen. Accompanying this remarkable piece is a reprint article by William C. Smith titled "Recently-discovered Handel Manuscripts" from Musical Times (April 1937), along with notes handwritten by W. C. Smith himself. This exquisite print not only captures an extraordinary musical composition but also provides valuable insights into its historical context and provenance within the world-renowned Gerald Coke Handel Collection at Foundling Museum.
