This answer has been confirmed as correct, not copied, and helpful. Other sources say Handel was invited by Gian Gastone de' Medici, whom Handel had met in 1703–1704 in Hamburg. De' Medici, who had a keen interest in opera, was trying to make Florence Italy's musical capital by attracting the leading talents of his day. As Alexander's Feast (1736) was well received, Handel made a transition to English choral works. After his success with Messiah (1742) he never performed an Italian opera again. Almost blind, and having lived in England for nearly fifty years, he died in 1759, a respected and rich man. This event closed the first period of his life, during which he was, on his own admission, “a man given to the vanities of the world, whose chief delight consisted in martial exercises, with a great and vain desire to win renown” (Autobiography, 1). Handel's baptismal registration (Marienbibliothek in Halle) Handel was born in 1685 in Halle, Duchy of Magdeburg, to Georg Händel and Dorothea Taust. His father, 63 when George Frideric was born, was an eminent barber-surgeon who served the court of Saxe-Weissenfels and the Margraviate of Brandenburg. Fanny Longfellow, his wife, was also from a Unitarian family, and in later years of Henry's life, his daughter, Alice, was happy to tell her father's admirers that her father was born a Unitarian and remained one all of his life. The funeral service for Longfellow was held in the Library Room of the house. During his later years Longfellow was one of the most famous men in the world. On his trip to Europe 1868-69 he was lionized. In England, Queen Victoria received him in a private audience. He was given honorary degrees at both Oxford and Cambridge, England. In Italy Handel met librettist Antonio Salvi, with whom he later collaborated. Handel left for Rome and, since opera was (temporarily) banned in the Papal States, composed sacred music for the Roman clergy. His famous Dixit Dominus (1707) is from this era. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine (then a part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts). His father was a prominent lawyer and served in both the Massachusetts State legislature and the Congress of the United States.
