I borrowed a copy of Handel's Messiah and also surfed over Wikipedia to enhance my listening pleasure. Following a link from Wikipedia I came accross a site that provides public domain choral music, CPDL, who also follow the wiki format. This site has a lot of Handel's works and the full score to Messiah.
Although the wikipedia entry activated hobbyhorse #324. Handel is described as a German composer who lived part of his life in Great Britain. In reality he got to London when he was 25 and stayed for the next 49, he never left. Wouldn't it be appropriate to describe him as an English Composer who was born in Germany.
