Handel Handles Interviews
Yeah, it's a little
punny...but so
goes the world. :-) In the big hands I would place various pictures of Handel.
Print Shop 10.0 had several shots that would be appropriate. The smaller
handprints around the pictured handprints could contain student writings about
Handel, questions and answers about Handel in "interview" format, or
quote by Handel himself. The handprints could be student handprints or ones
printed from a publishing program.
Although I chose darker, subdued
colors for this board, you could make it much brighter with an interesting background
and border. Here are some Handel quotes that may be useful:

(When
asked why he borrowed material composed by Bonocini) "It's much too good
for him, he did not know what to do with it."
(To a
singer who had threatened to jump on Handel's harpsichord} "Let me know
when you will do that and I will advertise it. For I am sure that more people
will come to see you jump than to hear you sing."
"My
Lord, I should be sorry if I only entertained them; I wished to make them
better." (said after a performance of Messiah)
