Handel's Sarabande
imslp.org/wiki/Suite_in_D_minor,_HWV_437_(Handel,_George_Frideric)The fourth movement of Handel's Keyboard Suite in D Minor (HWV 437) is called Sarabande, and is a variation on La Folia (Follies of Spain), which is an old European musical theme whose composer is now unknown. The Sarabande is featured in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 movie Barry Lydon and in Brian De Palma's 2007 movie Redacted.
George Frideric Handel (1685 – 1759) was a great German–English Baroque composer. Prominent among his many works are the oratorio Messiah, his Opus 3 and Opus 6 Concerti Grossi, The Water Music, and the keyboard suite The Harmonious Blacksmith. Handel's music was studied by composers such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. To Beethoven, George Frideric Handel was "the master of us all... the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb". Beethoven emphasised the simplicity and popular appeal of Handel's music when he said, "Go to him to learn how to achieve great effects, by such simple means".
