4 Organ Concerto

Album by George Frideric Handel & Ton Koopman & Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra

Organ Concerto No. 4 is one of George Frideric Handel's organ concertos, published as part of his Op. 4 set in 1738. The work is a Baroque concerto for solo organ and orchestra that juxtaposes virtuosic solo passages with ritornello-based orchestral writing and reflects Handel's practice in the 1730s of composing organ concertos to be played as interludes in his oratorio performances, blending Italianate concerto technique with English theatrical and liturgical traditions.
