Passacaille

Note from the arranger

This transcription is taken from the Urtext edition by Lemoine. I have used enharmonics to make the chromatic sections playable on the pedal harp. Since it shows up on many syllabus and competition lists, I made this transcription so that my students could play the original piece as Händel intended it, instead of the very different transcription that many are using. Bar 36’s accidentals are correct, though they do not match those in the Tiny Béon edition.
