Il Dixit Dominus (HWV 232), è un salmo latino messo in musica da Handel a Roma nell'aprile 1707, sul testo del Salmo 109 (110) del Libro di Davide. Potrebbe esser stato scritto come parte di un servizio completo di Vespri, dato che la prima esecuzione a noi nota risale al luglio di quell’anno, in occasione delle solenni feste del Carmelo. Il lavoro è pervaso da un’energia formidabile e da un uso ispirato di gesti teatrali, che dimostra come la messa al bando della musica operistica non impedisse la composizione di vibrante musica drammatica. La partitura autografa prevede cinque voci soliste, coro a cinque parti ed orchestra, di cui non vi è indicazioni di strumentazione, ma possiamo arguire dal tipo di scrittura e dalle circostanze storiche che le parti orchestrali siano pensate per due violini e due viole, oltre che per il basso continuo. Handel richiede grande impegno a tutti i musicisti nel corso degli otto movimenti ed esige dai solisti energia ed ampiezza, un'agilità ed una precisione fenomenale, declamazione vigorosa e grande espressività nei passaggi lirici. Grazie a tutto ciò, il salmo libera un brio ed un'esuberanza da lasciare senza fiato, quasi come se il giovane Handel, arrivato da poco in una nazione, l'Italia, di cantanti e strumentisti virtuosi, lanciasse a loro una sfida spingendoli alle vette della loro tecnica. Malgrado la supposizione ingenua contenuta nell'opera che le voci funzionino come i violini ed i violini come i registri di un organo, questa composizione ha senz'altro contribuito al successo stupefacente ottenuto da Handel in Italia.

Georg Friedrich Händel

Georg Friedrich Händel (Halle sul Saale, 23 febbraio 1685 – Londra, 14 aprile 1759) è stata una compositore tedesco naturalizzato inglese nel 1727, considerato uno dei più grandi musicisti del Barocco.
Influenzato dai grandi compositori d'età barocca, in particolare da quelli della scuola italiana e dall'inglese Henry Purcell, i suoi lavori ebbero un influsso decisivo su tutti i contemporanei e fra i compositori delle generazioni successive, primi fra tutti i maestri del Classicismo viennese, Haydn, Mozart e Beethoven
La tendenza prevalente in Italia oggi è quella di scrivere e pronunciare il suo nome alla tedesca (Georg Friedrich Händel), sebbene il compositore negli ultimi quaranta anni della sua vita si sia sempre firmato secondo l'uso della lingua inglese George Frideric Handel. Durante il suo soggiorno italiano veniva chiamato invece Hendel.

Sir John Eliot Gardiner CBE FKC (born 20 April 1943, Fontmell Magna, Dorset, England) is an English conductor. He founded the Monteverdi Choir (1966), the English Baroque Soloists (1978) and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique (1990). Gardiner has recorded over 250 albums with these and other musical ensembles, most of which have been published by Deutsche Grammophon and Philips Classics. John Eliot Gardiner is most famous for his interpretations of Baroque music on period instruments with the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists, but his repertoire and discography are not limited to early music. With the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique Gardiner has performed a wide range of Classical and Romantic music, including many works of Hector Berlioz and all of Beethoven's symphonies. A recording of the third symphony of the latter was used in a dramatisation by the BBC of Beethoven's writing of that symphony.Gardiner has served as chief conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra and has appeared as guest conductor of some of the most famous orchestras including the Philharmonia, Boston, Cleveland, Royal Concertgebouw and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras.

Career
John Eliot Gardiner first took up the baton at the age of fifteen. As an undergraduate at King's College, Cambridge he studied history and Arabic. He toured the Middle East conducting the Oxford and Cambridge Singers. During his time in Cambridge he founded, in 1964, his first musical ensemble, the Monteverdi Choir. With the Monteverdi Choir he made his conducting debut at the Wigmore Hall in London in 1966. To complement the Monteverdi Choir he formed the Monteverdi Orchestra in 1968, who played on modern instruments, but after changing to period instruments in 1977 they became known as the English Baroque Soloists. After graduating from King's College, Cambridge, he studied at King's College London under Thurston Dart, and with the influential French music professor Nadia Boulanger.
In 1969 Gardiner made his debut in the opera house with a performance of Mozart's the Die Zauberflöte at the English National Opera. Four years later, in 1973, he first appeared at Covent Garden conducting Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride. The English Baroque Soloists made their debut with him in the 1977 Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, performing Händel's Acis and Galatea on period instruments. His American debut came in 1979 when he conducted the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. He then became the lead conductor of Canada's CBC Vancouver Orchestra from 1980 to 1983.
After his period with the CBC Vancouver Orchestra, Gardiner went to France. From 1983 to 1988 he was Music Director of the Opéra National de Lyon. During his period with the Opéra he founded an entirely new orchestra. During his time with the Opéra National de Lyon Gardiner was also Artistic Director of the Göttingen Handel Festival (1981 until 1990). In 1989 the Monteverdi Choir had its 25th anniversary, touring the world giving performances of Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610. In 1990, Gardiner formed a new period-instrument orchestra, the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, to perform music of the 19th century. From 1991 until 1994 he was principal conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra.
In the 1990s he undertook more world tours with his ensembles, including:
    * A European tour in 1993 with the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique featured Berlioz's rediscovered Messe solennelle. Beginning in Bremen, Germany the tour ended with a recorded performance in Westminster Cathedral, London 1993.
    * In 2000, Gardiner set out on his Bach Cantata Pilgrimage, performing, over a 52-week period, all of Bach's sacred cantatas in churches around Europe and the United States.
    * In late 2004, Gardiner toured Spain with the Monteverdi Choir performing pieces from the Codex Compostelanus in cathedrals and churches along the Camino de Santiago.
