The Genius of Handel. done by musical professors. Now, let me at once disabuse the minds of my hearers of the impression that I am a deep musical scholar. I have no scientific knowledge of the theory of music properly so called. I have some general notions of the ordinary rules of composition, and some general acquaintance with the chief characteristics of the chords, and harmonies, and discords, as distinguished from each other. But we all know that music is a very difficult study a very intricate science. When a non-professional student of the theory of music has gained so much knowledge that he feels persuaded he really knows little or nothing at all of counterpoint, he has gained something, and perhaps this I have attained to. But, ladies and gentlemen, for what I propose in these lectures, I do not require profound musical science. With a mixed audience such science would be unintelligible; nor, if I did possess it, would it answer my present purpose. It would little interest or profit you were I to talk of dominants and subdominants, of diminished sevenths or enharmonic modulations.
