### Programme notes
Composed between 1724 and 1726, Handel’s _German Arias_, set to poems by Brockes, celebrate nature as a reflection of the divine. Scored for soprano, melodic instrument and continuo, they offer an intimate dialogue between voice and instrument, balancing the human and the sacred. Likely intended for private settings, they stand among Handel’s most refined works.
