February's composer was George Frideric Handel!! He is one of the most famous Baroque composers and the kids loved getting to know him. Here are a fun few facts if you can handel it (sorry, couldn't help myself!): he was nicknamed the "Great Bear" due to his size and the way he walked, he worked for King George I of England, he could speak 4 languages, and play 4 instruments. I guarantee you will recognize a few of his pieces!
Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah
