1/5. Handel enjoyed the support of several patrons during his career, particularly in the early years, and Donald Macleod looks at the music the composer wrote in connection with these supporters.
When Handel arrived in Rome in 1707, ecclesiastics and noble families controlled the machinery of patronage, and it was in these circles that Handel would find admirers, among them, the rich and influential Cardinal Pamphili.
