of Baron Rilmanseck and the Waler-'Muaic
episode to effect a reconciliation between
His Majesty and his quondam truant Ra-

tained his pardon and an annuity of £200.
In 171G he followed the Ring to Hanover,
where he brought out his Brockes-Passion.
On his return to London, in 1718, he suc-
ceeded Dr. Pepusch as chapel-master to the
Dake of Chaudos, which post he held three
years, during which time he produced the
Chandos Te Deums and Anthems, the Eng-
lish Acis and Galatea, and his first oratorio,
Esther. He gave lessons also to the daugh-
ters of the Prince of Wales, for whom he
wrote the first volume of his Suites de

as The Lessons. In addition, he assumed

him to quit England. The Bononcini party
immediately rallied round Seuesino, and
soon a business competition ensued (in lieu
of the old artistic rivalry between Handel
and Bononcini) between Handel and his
company, at Covent Garden, and a com-

as chief attraction, and Porpora as composer
and conductor. Neither enterprise thrived ;
