A piece by this composer begins quietly with oboes and low strings playing continuous eighth notes as the violins play arpeggios, which crescendoes into a loud D major chord by the chorus and three trumpets. This composer wrote an anthem for the Foundling Hospital, the venue of charity concerts that originated the “Scratch” form of one of his works. This composer was inspired by shepherd-bagpipers to include a pastoral Pifa in a work whose libretto is by Charles Jennens. A widely excerpted sinfonia scored for two oboes and strings appears in this composer’s Solomon. This composer was commissioned to write four anthems for the coronation of George II, including Zadok the Priest. For 10 points, name this Baroque composer who included a Hallelujah chorus in his Messiah. ■END■
