Notes by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra:
Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow was an accomplished organist, composer and teacher and, although he had a successful career of his own, he is perhaps best known as one of Handel’s first teachers. For most of his life, he held a position as organist at the Marienkirche in Halle (Handel’s birthplace), where he also directed musical performances and composed new works for the choir. His choral works are especially rich, and Handel no doubt learned a lot about writing for the voice from Zachow. Among Zachow’s works, two dozen cantatas and some keyboard pieces survive. He seemed particularly interested in the strict counterpoint of fugues, and he passed this knowledge along to Handel. The Trio Sonata in F major is one of the only surviving works of this genre associated with Zachow.
