Handel's music in the film 'Barry Lyndon' (1975)

[Robert Newman]

In the highly acclaimed period film of Stanley Kubrik, ‘Barry Lyndon’ (1975) great use is made of an arrangement for orchestra of the ‘Sarabande’ from Handel’s Suite in D Minor (H.437) - a work originally written for solo harpsichord.

Golly, I'd forgotten all about that movie. Thanks for the reminder, Robert.

There's a movie called Greatest Story Ever Told where on the end
they were playing the Hallelujah Chorus from Mandel's Messiah.
