Main page for the pirated pastiche known as Handel’s “Op. 3”

  • This concerto includes material from Handel’s anthem “My Song Shall Be Always,” his “Chandos” Te Deum, and a keyboard fugue in G.1
  • Listen for: a prominent solo part assigned to either oboe or flute.2
  • Listen for: this concerto technically has four movements, but the opening Largo is just a short introduction, and the slow movement (mvt. 3) is also tiny, just an 8-bar oboe/flute solo with light orchestral accompaniment.3
