This is the first major study of Handel's English church music. It covers well-known works such as Zadok the Priest, but also introduces an an engaging but little-known repertory. Handel's Chapel Royal music was the result of a close but changing relationship with Britain's Hanoverian royal family.

Although the date of this work is uncertain, and we know nothing about the author, its composition is roughly contemporary with "The Canterbury Tales" in the later part of the 14th century. In the subtle and accomplished poem, the hero's knightly virtues are put to the test in a strange adventure.
