Dixit Dominus allows us to see the moment when Handel emerged as a mature composer. Written in 1707 on commission from the powerful Colonna family in Rome, it represents the earliest major choral work to survive in the composer’s own hand. 22-year old Handel had already developed an excellent technical mastery of harmony, counterpoint and melody, and was ready to put these skills on full display.
