The Göttingen Handel Festival had to be canceled in the anniversary year 2020, apart from a few digital substitute events, like almost all other music festivals. This also affected the annual symposium and the lecture, which each make up the main part of the GHB. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the Handel Society decided to keep the GHB published on a regular basis. The present volume therefore brings together, inspired by the anniversary year, five independent contributions that are dedicated to particular aspects of Handel's reception in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This includes a documentation of the Göttingen anniversary exhibition from 2020. Oskar Hagen's text adaptation of Handel's 'Rodelinda', which was created for the Göttingen performance in 1920, will also be republished for the occasion.
