List of compositions by George Frideric Handel

Portrait of George Frideric Handel
by Thomas Hudson.

George Frideric Handel (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German–English Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios and concerti grossi. Handel's compositions include 42 operas; 29 oratorios; more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets; numerous arias; chamber music; a large number of ecumenical pieces; odes and serenatas; and 16 organ concerti. His oratorio Messiah, with its "Hallelujah" chorus, is among the most famous Baroque works and is a popular choice for performances during the Christmas season. Among Handel's best-known instrumental works are the Concerti Grossi Opus 3 and 6; "The Cuckoo and the Nightingale", in which birds are heard calling during passages played in different keys representing the vocal ranges of two birds; and his 16 keyboard suites, especially The Harmonious Blacksmith.

Collected editions of Handel's works include the Händel-Gesellschaft (HG) and the Hallische Händel-Ausgabe (HHA), however the more recent Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis (HWV) publication is now commonly used to number his works. For example, Handel's Messiah can be referred to as: HG xlv, HHA i/17, or HWV 56. Some of Handel's music is also numbered based on initial publications, for example a 1741 publication by Walsh labelled twelve of Handel's concerti grossi as Opus 6.

Solo sonatas

Further information: Handel flute sonatas, Handel solo sonatas (published by Walsh), and XV Handel solo sonatas (published by Chrysander)

The following table details the sonatas for various solo instruments (with keyboard accompaniment):

HWV	Instrument	Key	Composed	Published	Opus	Notes
357	Oboe	B-flat major	c. 1707–10			One of Handel's earliest extant compositions. Probably written during his years in Italy
358	Unspecified	G major	c. 1707–10			A "Fitzwilliam" sonata. The autographed manuscript, located in the Fitzwilliam Museum, does not mention instrumentation, nor are there tempo markings for the movements. It is tentatively assigned to the violin in the HHA, however the recorder is also a possibility.
359a	Violin	D minor	c. 1724			The D minor sonata, headed "Sonata 2", follows the G major sonata (HWV 358) in the Fitzwilliam Museum autograph. Originally written for violin and published in two different E minor versions for the flute. See flute sonata in E minor (HWV 359b)
359b	Flute	E minor	c. 1724	1732	Opus 1 No. 1b	Of the two sonatas published by Chrysander as Opus 1 Sonata I, this one (Sonata Ib) is the one in Walsh's original edition (where it is called Sonata I).
360	Recorder	G minor	c. 1712	1732	Opus 1 No. 2
361	Violin	A major	c. 1725–26	1732	Opus 1 No. 3	The only violin sonata to have been published exactly as written by Handel.
362	Recorder	A minor	c. 1712	1732	Opus 1 No. 4
363a	Oboe	F major	c. 1711–16
363b	Flute	G major	c. 1711–16	1732	Opus 1 No. 5
364a	Violin	G minor	c. 1722–24	1732	Opus 1 No. 6	Both Walsh and Chrysander published the work as an oboe sonata.
364b	Viola da gamba	G minor	c. 1724			A transcription of HWV 364a—as suggested by Handel on the manuscript.
365	Recorder	C major	c. 1712		Opus 1 No. 7
366	Oboe	C minor	c. 1711–12	1732	Opus 1 No. 8
367a	Recorder	D minor	c. 1712		Opus 1 No. 9a	Movements 1–5 constitute the "Fitzwilliam Sonata III" in Thurston Dart's arrangement. Originally published Flute Sonata in B minor, Op 1 No 9b (HWV 367b). The contemporary edition of Handel attributes it to the transverse flute, but the autograph manuscript is clearly for the recorder.
367b	Flute	B minor	c. 1725–26	1732	Opus 1 No. 9b	In the 'Aylesford' collection the Alla breve appears with the title of FUGE
368	Violin	G minor		1732	Opus 1 No. 10	Probably spurious
369	Recorder	F major	c. 1712	1732	Opus 1 No. 11
370	Violin	F major		1732	Opus 1 No. 12	Probably spurious
371	Violin	D major	c. 1749-50		Opus 1 No. 13	This sonata represents Handel's last piece of chamber music. The piece was not published by Walsh; the designation Op 1 No.13 is Chrysander's
372	Violin	A major		1732	Opus 1 No. 14	Probably spurious. The piece was published by Walsh as Op 1 No. 10 in the original edition that had a faked title page naming Roger as the publisher; the designation Op 1 No.14 is Chrysander's
373	Violin	E major		1732	Opus 1 No. 15	Probably spurious. The piece was published by Walsh as Op 1 No. 12 in the original edition that had a faked title page naming Roger as the publisher; the designation Op 1 No.15 is Chrysander's
374	Flute	A minor		1730		"Halle sonata No. 1". Authenticity uncertain
375	Flute	E minor		1730		"Halle sonata No. 2". Authenticity uncertain. The first two movements are identical to those of HWV 366, and the last also appears (out of context) at the end of Walsh's printing of HWV 434
376	Flute	B minor		1730		"Halle sonata No. 3". Authenticity uncertain
377	Recorder	B-flat major	c. 1712			All three movements appear as parts of other works

379	Flute	E minor	c. 1727–28	1879	Opus 1 No. 1a	The work's authenticity is unquestioned, but the sonata is not part of Handel's Opus 1 as published by Walsh—having been added by Chrysander.

407	Violin	G major	c. 1738			Allegro
408	Violin	C minor	c. 1725–29			Allegro. It may be the only surviving fragment of a completed sonata in C minor. Used as the finale to the Recorder sonata in A minor (HWV 362).
409	Recorder	D minor	c. 1712			Andante. Variant of movement from the Recorder Sonata in D minor (HWV 367a)
412	Violin	A minor	c. 1725–26			Andante
419-1			c. 1710–20			HWV 419 1-6 are six marches. They are known only from printed sources; were published as separate treble and bass parts; with instrumentation unspecified, though title pages mention flute and violin for treble parts. May have originated as a keyboard work.
