Handel was considered one of the greatest organists of his day along with Bach and Scarlatti. His first set of Organ Concertos, Opus 4 were published in 1738. Often Handel would perform a Concerto at the same time as an Oratorio.
Concerto in G Minor, Op 4, No. 1 is about 13 minutes in length and is in four movements: Larghetto, Allegro, Adagio, and Andante. It is a delight to perform and to listen to, beautifully arranged for Brass Quintet and solo Organ by Justin Bland.
Instrumentation: Organ solo, Piccolo Trumpet in A and B-flat Trumpet, Trumpet in B-flat, Horn in F, Trombone, and Tuba.
