@Vladlore This painting is by Dutch painter Evert (or Edwaert) Collier and is called a "Vanitas Still-Life." It was completed in 1665, as noted by the small piece of paper by the thick book. I believe, but I'm not positive, that the note also reads Vanitas Vanitatum Omnia Vanitas, which translates as vanities of vanity, all is vanity.
It amazes me how intricate this piece is. Paul Nicholson does a superb job here yet still made at least 3-4 mistakes. I wonder if Handel himself could even do his own piece full justice.
I´m from Spain ´n a big part of my family comes from Birmingham, London. You should have more respect if you want to be respected no?
Metal from Western? Are you serious? I´ve been studying music for 3 years long! How can you be so fucking intolerant!
. Metal was borned in the UK and mainly is the natural evolving of the Rock´n Roll. It uses the "forbidden interval" (tritone) as one of the more importants of the main metal harmonic structure. You disrespectful
As much as I like listening to this, I think what people, including myself, enjoy about this piece is the common Circle of Fifths progression rather than the variations Handel composed.
I can't Handel this! The harpsichord was made for this piece! Handel and his baroque peers never cease to amaze me. I become a child again when I listen to this music. This music describes the world in a way that no words or lyrics ever could. Everything seems so simple, and so beautiful when I listen to Handel. Every time I hear this piece, I am reminded of that.
@yourfellowmusician In my opinion, this piece portrays the pinnacle of harpsichord composition. This is how harpsichord music should sound. For those reasons, I think my initial claim that the harpsichord was "made for this piece" - figuratively, of course (chronologically speaking, the harpsichord could not have possibly been made for this piece) - is supported. Literally, yes, this piece was made for harpsichord, but my initial statement served a more connotative purpose in that respect.
@kourosh89 I hope this was a joke because my mind cannot comprehend it if it wasnt. That Lil wayne thing is not even a rapper compared to the likes of Cypress Hill, Psycho Realm, delinquent habbits,house of pain and so forth. All the real artists from rappers to metalheads have huge respect for classical music, therefore evolving. Go figure this out with your tiny brain.
@kourosh89 Lol I'm probably replying to a troll, but I only have one thing to say. Modern Music repeats certain things as well (as far as I pop and sometimes rap goes). It's called a chorus. Look it up.
@kourosh89 You're a fucking moron. Your rapping monkey "musicians" don't know shit about music. They wouldn't know a minor 3rd from an augmented 5th if it bit them in the ass. Rap has to be the worse noise making primitive piece of shit I've ever heard. Fucking monkeys bouncing around, howling and banging on drums like chimpanzees. That's not music, that's something that belongs in Ringling Brothers. Handel's farts were more musical than anything your fucking rappers could ever produce.
Most enthusiatically agreed. While I myself would also not know the difference between a minor 3rd and an augmented 5th, It does not take a classically trained musician to recognise the blatantly obvious difference in both technicality and "musicality", for lack of a better word, between the machine-produced nonsense of most modern "musicians" and the sadly departed genius of the likes of Handel.
Not that ALL modern music is crap, just anything that get mainstream airtime.
@Surtak I agree! I am glad there are still people around to appreciate what music truly is. There is of course some main stream music that I do like, however, nothing compares to my taste for Baroque music. I always equate classical music with a full balanced, nutritious meal and main stream music to a bag of Doritos or Twinkies. Sure, both are technically food but only one is good for you and truly satisfying...
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy twinkies and doritos from time to time. :)
@Surtak What I said earlier about rappers not knowing the difference between a minor 3rd and an augmented 5th, was really intended to show their ignorance. You do not have to know the difference between the two to enjoy listening to music, but if you call yourself a "musician" you sure as hell better be able to differentiate between the two. Most of today's so called "musicians" believe a fermata is a religious experience in which people bleed as Jesus did at the cross....
@adamworth1979 hmm...while i agree that i don't kno the differnece between a minor 3rd and a augusst 5th, i know that rappers like Lil' Wayne and Kanye are better and smarter musicians than this pussy handle. they just got da beat, but handle don't. handle = retard
@kourosh89 Lil'Wayne and Kanye are sacks of imbecile shit just like you. All music has "beat" but you're just too fucking stupid to see it in Handel's masterpieces. I forgive you, this music is so beyond you, that it is useless for me to try to explain it to you. Stick to your rapping monkeys, that's about the extent of your tiny brain's musical comprehension. Don't worry, I won't push Handel on you or Baroque music, you're brain would explode if you try to comprehend it.
@adamworth1979 yo, you used the word comprehend twice in two consectuivtive sentances. looks like u are almost as dumb and repetative in writing sentances as handle is in writing music.
You misspelled "sentences" twice. Your sentence consistency is abysmal. You should have at least abbreviated "you" both times that you used it. His name is Handel not Handle. Baroque music may all sound the same to idiots like you, but to those of us who like variety or know music, each piece is like a color, on a canvas of silence, painting a picture of life itself.

Metal is the most diverse genre with Classical. It contains a vary of instruments, sounds, play styles, symphonies, vocal ranges, and a wide range of lyrical theme and has strong bonds with its community. It's why I stand by Metal and Classical being the two greatest genre's of music. They're technical and brilliant, the atmosphere and emotion invoked is different but still very amazing.
and baroque are definetively related! I love both! There is nothing more powerful in the history of music than Bach's organ works .Well, that's my opinion. But Handel beats Bach in dramatic sense and in pastoral feeling.
@MrScorn I'm sorry to tell you, but you are mistaken:in first instance because symphonies are sonata form pieces for over 50 musicians in an orchestra, incluiding violins, violas, trumpets, oboes, etc. I don't know if you happen to know about harmony, but anythough, it doesnt matter i'm only telling you that most metal music is limited to the three basic harmonic areas (1st, 3rd and 5th)
@MrScorn while classical and barroque music, specially bach's, haydn's händel's, mozart's beethoven's and vivaldi's can be written in over 10 harmonic areas; additionally, melody in classical and barroque music can be over 20 measure, while in metal music it rarel can go over 4 measures.
Listen to the masterpiece that was created long before we were born, this music should always be enjoyed and respected. I love every measure of it, and I am a deathcore musician. And I Love all music. :D
@JDawgBro86 It helps to know what a passacaglia is, which this particular movement happens to be. A passacaglia is a piece of music that starts with a theme and then makes variations on it, hence it is repetitive. The piano wasn't widely used until around the time of Beethoven. During the baroque era, the harpsichord was used.
I would have thought most metalheads would have liked this. It's technically difficult and it has great melody and rhythm. I, as a metalhead, Certanly don't disapprove of Handel at all.
@nubzaquer That's great. I wouldn't care if you hated it. That comment was aimed at all the metalheads that were arguing about the roots of metal a while ago.
All western music does not have its roots in classical music. Most modern "western" music, particularly pop and rock, has its roots in the music of Africans transported to the Americas.
and you think that is the most vital component of all modern music? that is the greatest load of bollocks I've heard, congratulations. meanwhile, you might consider sticking your head out of your own arsehole and you might notice the world doesn't begin and end with western european culture.
@ChronicMetamorphosis but metal is the most related, you mean pop has a classical influence?. We want to make clear how people are not so openminded and think metal is a shit
@ChronicMetamorphosis The metal music has the same notes and tones as the Classical music. I do not think ALL western music has roots in classical, e.g. pop, it doesn't suit at all. All these comments about metal in Classical music is just to make clear how wrong people are about metal, they think it's just noise and they can't focus on the notes. ~Fixed
@ChronicMetamorphosis You´re a bir mad man... take calm down. Metal is the best music nowadays, and much more if you compare it with the" biggest" (About selling CD´s) new bands that are borning. Western music is a really funny to listen to style of music, but metal is the king of modern music with jazz, Blues and Rock. I respect western music but, come on Metal is much more similar, specially Prog Metal and Neoclassical metal.
Take care of still being listening to all that amazing styles ;)
@MrGuitarMadness95 What the hell are you talking about? Metal grew up from the western music tradition, that was my point. I think you are talking about something completely different, but I can't tell because of your broken English.
It would be awesome to talk to someone who actually studies music and doesn't use a translator.
@ChronicMetamorphosis That's true, but very few actually incorporate it at all or even well, or they do so very poorly. I think Progressive Rock, and Symphonic Metal do so the best, and technical Death is pretty close.
Rap and R&B artists will generally just have cheap electronic sounds or a simple Piano scale.
And Metal has by far the most diverse library of influences, with Folk, oriental, symphonic, classical, opera, even death growls/shrieks or powerful vocals, and more.
This is absolutely related to METAL. Just listen to the the powerful expression. It has nothing to do with volume. This has been a revelation to me, and I love Kizz, Ac/Dc/ The Ramone a¨nd so on. And listen to Bach's organ works. Really mighty stuff.
@JDawgBro86 This is repetitive because this whole movement is a variation on the beginning theme. That is when you take a melody and mix it up with different rhythms yet with the same chord progression. This is not played of a piano because Handel wrote it for a harpsichord, a keyboard instrument of mostly the 17th and 18th centuries, which was a predecessor to the piano.
@farfa15 you know all metal is, is a sped up version of classical music. If Bach was around today i guaruntee he would be in the band judas priest, or iron maiden.
Metal started as blues with distortion. The only subgenres that have anything to do with classical form are death and black metal, i.e. not bands like Judas Priest.
@dwayne515 , that's not true, and it takes a lot more than playing a circle of fifths on a minor scale to make CLASSICAL music. Trust me, I have been a metal guitarist for 20 years and then threw it away and started studying piano.
@skkiittllezz ,that's ridicolous, you have no idea at what level someone like Bach or Handel is compared to Judas Priest.. It's a completely different level. People like Bach were MASTERS OF MUSIC and could compose in hundreds of different forms. He mastered all aspects of it. You have no idea of what you are talking about. By the way I am metal guitarist turned pianist. for 9. If you want to grow as a musician ,start listenting to the great music of the past,but don't say ridicolous things.
This implementation is just wonderful. Everytime I listen to it, I feel like I was dancing, charming and playing with someone. It reveals inside of me my seductress side. I imagine a femme fatale playing with her man-pray. This implementation is just wonderful.
@AnimaeExahalare okay, that makes the three of us, that was the exact same sentiment I had! and who knows? maybe in another life we were seductresses who played Handel's implementation music in the background whilst charming men who just couldn't handle how sexy/ sensual/ coy/ damn hot we were.... mmmhhmm...
the most fantastic ending ever...at the end i can hear some type of overtones, maybe from so many notes being played simultaneously, and it sounds like a choir singer
@luigiperso internet person, baroque has a lot of influence on metal, especially classic metal. That's why I like both of them. Metal pipes tend to play flat too.
@sozobo2 , I have been a metal guitarist for almost 20 years and a pianist for about 9, and have been studying classical music for a few years now, sozobo person....
@sozobo2 ,baroque music didn't have an influence on metal to the degree that you and many others believe. Metal only TRIED to incorporate these influences, the most notable examples being 'Far beyond the sun' by Malmsteen or 'Speed metal symphony' by Cacophony, but almost all other 'classic metal' is just pretentious crap. Get this: to write CLASSICAL music you need to master first of all harmony, and then form, which has not been done by ANY metal band as of yet, sozobo.
and don't forget counterpoint, which is a mainstay of baroque and classical music, and one of the hardest things to master in music.
Look, I respect a good metal band too, but let's just not talk out of our ass and say that Handel influenced Manowar, because it's just ridicolous. The only musicians that were REALLY influenced by classical music, are some film music composers. End of story.
one last thing: 'Classic metal' was actually the LEAST influenced by Classical music. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest have NOT A THING in common with classical music. If anything, it was guitarists like Randy Rhoads, Malmsteen or Jason Becker who were 'influenced' by classical, not Judas Priest. I hear someone here saying that black metal, no less, is influenced by Classical music. What a load of ridicolous bullshit...
@luigiperso also, if you're upset about classic metal and neoclassical composition, check out some progressive bands that put a great deal of time and energy into composing their music so it actually does blend harmonies and melodies beautifully.
@luigiperso I have also studied classical for about 8 years and I am thoroughly aware of the incorporation of the entire harmony. But as a violist, I saw that only the best composers even bothered to do that for us
Oh how I love this composition. But Oh how much more I love the Lord Jesus. He is coming soon. Have you read HIs Word. He warns of the coming Tribulation. Repent. Or be left behind to experience His wrath during the "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord..."
@DanJeffery07 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven , neither the Son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32) Jesus "became a little lower than the angels" but not any more. He is in Heaven, at the Right hand of God. He KNOWS.
@julieification You just proved yourself wrong. Knoweth no man, ..... Neither the Son, but the Father. Right there, it says the Son (Jesus) doesn't know but GOD does. Read the bible carefully and don't make it say what you want it to say.
@DanJeffery07 And then shall He send His angels, and shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Mark 13:
@DanJeffery07 You are making a mistake. Compare Scripture with Scripture. "I and the Father are One." Jesus Christ is the one who will meet the believers in the air before the "Terrible Day of the Lord." How could He not know.
@Chaos-- Handel was not "secular". I will talk about the Lord Jesus to atheists, drunkards, muslims, etc. The light of Jesus Christ is not confined to the indoor of some church building. The Holy Spirit dwells in the bodies of believers. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (I Cor:3:16,17) But I come here because I love this song.
You're missing my point, I'm not disputing the fact that Handel wasn't secular. This piece of music is not a religious work, it's a secular work. Everyone is free to interpret it the way they feel like, obviously you want to interpret it in a religious manner, I wouldn't.
There's some cheaper ones out there but they don't have all the bells and whistles (transposing, lute stops, etc.) and you have to do part or all of the assembly yourself... or settle for a single-keyboard student version.
Look up "Bizzi harpsichords" online. They have a single-manual student version that's about $6000 (not including shipping costs). If you like in Europe it's simple, if not expect to shell out a few thousand on shipping.
I wish double harpsichords came at a reasonable price, they usually cost 17,000 for a decent one, and do they HAVE to put all the fancy paintings on them and jack up the price? I just want one that sounds good, heck I can paint the inside myself!
If anyone has an idea of where can I find all Handel works, please let me know.He's probably nr.1 clasic and yet he's so underestimated, for God knows what reason.Please send private msg if you can help me.Best wishes!
name of the painting?

@Vladlore This painting is by Dutch painter Evert (or Edwaert) Collier and is called a "Vanitas Still-Life." It was completed in 1665, as noted by the small piece of paper by the thick book. I believe, but I'm not positive, that the note also reads Vanitas Vanitatum Omnia Vanitas, which translates as vanities of vanity, all is vanity.

All western music does not have its roots in classical music. Most modern "western" music, particularly pop and rock, has its roots in the music of Africans transported to the Americas.

@gloomyoutlook Pop and rock uses equal temperament, which was perfected by Baroque composers. Therefore it still has roots in classical music.

@ChronicMetamorphosis The metal music has the same notes and tones as the Classical music. I do not think ALL western music has roots in classical, e.g. pop, it doesn't suit at all. All these comments about metal in Classical music is just to make clear how wrong people are about metal, they think it's just noise and they can't focus on the notes. ~Fixed

@ChronicMetamorphosis You´re a bir mad man... take calm down. Metal is the best music nowadays, and much more if you compare it with the" biggest" (About selling CD´s) new bands that are borning. Western music is a really funny to listen to style of music, but metal is the king of modern music with jazz, Blues and Rock. I respect western music but, come on Metal is much more similar, specially Prog Metal and Neoclassical metal.
Take care of still being listening to all that amazing styles ;)

@MrGuitarMadness95 What the hell are you talking about? Metal grew up from the western music tradition, that was my point. I think you are talking about something completely different, but I can't tell because of your broken English.
It would be awesome to talk to someone who actually studies music and doesn't use a translator.
ChronicMetamorphosis 2 months ago
@ChronicMetamorphosis That's true, but very few actually incorporate it at all or even well, or they do so very poorly. I think Progressive Rock, and Symphonic Metal do so the best, and technical Death is pretty close.
Rap and R&B artists will generally just have cheap electronic sounds or a simple Piano scale.
And Metal has by far the most diverse library of influences, with Folk, oriental, symphonic, classical, opera, even death growls/shrieks or powerful vocals, and more.

This is absolutely related to METAL. Just listen to the the powerful expression. It has nothing to do with volume. This has been a revelation to me, and I love Kizz, Ac/Dc/ The Ramone a¨nd so on. And listen to Bach's organ works. Really mighty stuff.

@JDawgBro86 This is repetitive because this whole movement is a variation on the beginning theme. That is when you take a melody and mix it up with different rhythms yet with the same chord progression. This is not played of a piano because Handel wrote it for a harpsichord, a keyboard instrument of mostly the 17th and 18th centuries, which was a predecessor to the piano.

@skkiittllezz ,that's ridicolous, you have no idea at what level someone like Bach or Handel is compared to Judas Priest.. It's a completely different level. People like Bach were MASTERS OF MUSIC and could compose in hundreds of different forms. He mastered all aspects of it. You have no idea of what you are talking about. By the way I am metal guitarist turned pianist. for 9. If you want to grow as a musician ,start listenting to the great music of the past,but don't say ridicolous things.

luigiperso 8 months ago
@sozobo2 ,baroque music didn't have an influence on metal to the degree that you and many others believe. Metal only TRIED to incorporate these influences, the most notable examples being 'Far beyond the sun' by Malmsteen or 'Speed metal symphony' by Cacophony, but almost all other 'classic metal' is just pretentious crap. Get this: to write CLASSICAL music you need to master first of all harmony, and then form, which has not been done by ANY metal band as of yet, sozobo.
luigiperso 8 months ago
and don't forget counterpoint, which is a mainstay of baroque and classical music, and one of the hardest things to master in music.
Look, I respect a good metal band too, but let's just not talk out of our ass and say that Handel influenced Manowar, because it's just ridicolous. The only musicians that were REALLY influenced by classical music, are some film music composers. End of story.
luigiperso 8 months ago
one last thing: 'Classic metal' was actually the LEAST influenced by Classical music. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest have NOT A THING in common with classical music. If anything, it was guitarists like Randy Rhoads, Malmsteen or Jason Becker who were 'influenced' by classical, not Judas Priest. I hear someone here saying that black metal, no less, is influenced by Classical music. What a load of ridicolous bullshit...

@luigiperso also, if you're upset about classic metal and neoclassical composition, check out some progressive bands that put a great deal of time and energy into composing their music so it actually does blend harmonies and melodies beautifully.

@Chaos-- Handel was not "secular". I will talk about the Lord Jesus to atheists, drunkards, muslims, etc. The light of Jesus Christ is not confined to the indoor of some church building. The Holy Spirit dwells in the bodies of believers. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (I Cor:3:16,17) But I come here because I love this song.

You're missing my point, I'm not disputing the fact that Handel wasn't secular. This piece of music is not a religious work, it's a secular work. Everyone is free to interpret it the way they feel like, obviously you want to interpret it in a religious manner, I wouldn't.

There's some cheaper ones out there but they don't have all the bells and whistles (transposing, lute stops, etc.) and you have to do part or all of the assembly yourself... or settle for a single-keyboard student version.

Look up "Bizzi harpsichords" online. They have a single-manual student version that's about $6000 (not including shipping costs). If you like in Europe it's simple, if not expect to shell out a few thousand on shipping.
I wish double harpsichords came at a reasonable price, they usually cost 17,000 for a decent one, and do they HAVE to put all the fancy paintings on them and jack up the price? I just want one that sounds good, heck I can paint the inside myself!
