George Frideric Handel was one of the most important composers of the late Baroque period. He was a master of polyphony, one of the great composers of concerto grosso and considered the creator of the English oratorio. It has been mentioned that Handel's father didn't want him to become a musician at first; his father wanted him to become a lawyer instead. Later on, his father would allow him to study music under Friedrich Zachow.
