Excerpt from Two Lectures on the Genius of Handel: And the Distinctive Character of His Sacred Compositions Ever since I had any power of mu-sical discernment, I have been an enthusiastic admirer of the works of Handel, and I have always considered him as the greatest composer of sacred music that ever lived. Having formed this opinion from a study of various compositions of his own, and from a comparison of his compositions with those of other eminent musical writers, it occurred to me that an interesting lecture might be given upon the subject, were it only to convey to others the train of thought through which I had arrived at this conclusion. I was most generously assisted in carrying out this purpose by the Secretary and Directors of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, and for the Members of that large and prosperous Association the two following Lectures were delivered.
