This edition is a revision of Music for Ballet at the Covent Garden Theatre that I produced for another publisher in 2001. This edition replaces it. The title has been changed slightly, there are now fewer pieces in the book but the layout has been improved, the keyboard part has been reworked using more of Handel's instrumental parts than before, and two of the dances have been transposed up a tone to help with the trills. 

George Frideric Handel; (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German-British Baroque composer well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, concerti grossi and organ concertos. He is consistently recognized as one of the greatest composers of his age.

Score: 30 pages. 1 part @ 15 pages.
