The continuous yet evolving culture of Handelian studies is represented here in its current state by several generations of scholars who are inspired by the research, publications and teaching of Donald Burrows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis festschrift contains twenty essays that exemplify aspects both of traditional philological enquiry and of modern interdisciplinary musicology. Much like a baroque \u003ci\u003edramma per musica\u003c\/i\u003e, the narrative is divided into three parts. Act I, 'Handel's Music and Creative Practices', is an exposition that sets the scene and introduces the main characters: musical case studies stretch from his first opera \u003ci\u003eAlmira\u003c\/i\u003e (Hamburg, 1705) to his last English oratorio \u003ci\u003eThe Triumph of Time and Truth\u003c\/i\u003e (London, 1757). Act II, is 'Sources, Documents and Attributions', develops complications to the plot: there is new information about the authenticity of chamber cantatas and instrumental pieces, and reports on manuscript, printed, and archival sources that demonstrate how primary research may be interpreted and understood. Act III, 'Context and Reception', moves us towards the \u003ci\u003elieto fine\u003c\/i\u003e: some broad contexts of Handel in relation to his contemporaries and colleagues are considered alongside reception studies of the composer's music both within and after his lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDAVID VICKERS teaches Academic Studies at Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester) and is a council member of The Handel Institute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTIBUTORS: Graydon Beeks, Michael Burden, John Butt, Hans Dieter Clausen, Matthew Gardner, Anthony Hicks, David Hunter, H.
