What is the significance of the hyphen in the title?

What is the significance of the hyphen in the title?

I think it's just a signifier in German that the original, full title has been shortened for convenience (as in Johannes-Passion and Matthaus-Passion in a couple of more regularly-programmed works).

Until I read Hogwood's Handel biography recently I had always assumed this was early Handel from before he came to England, maybe even before he left Germany for Italy, and therefore unworthy of detailed attention (don't think I'd ever heard a note of it). But no, it was well after that, c.1716, and therefore a significant intra-EU export

(But we'll soon be stopping any follow-up orders/ repeat business of course!)

Thank you ferney (re: hyphen)

The part one has just finished and I thought it was an excellent performance. Good for Martin Handley to mention the singers who are uncredited on the website.

Here’s Lars Ulrik Mortensen talking about the work.

Ein Pedant schreibt: Compound nouns like this are usually just stuck together in German without a hyphen, but there are rules to determine when they aren't, the relevant one here being that proper names are involved (as in Amadeus-Quartett etc.) It isn't connected to the fact that it's a shortened version of a longer title.

I've certainly seen examples of hyphens in place/street names: Karl-Marx-Platz or Karl-Marx-Allee, for example.

I’m aiming for a listen soon.

Indeed - I used to live in the Wilhelm-Stolze-Strasse in Berlin (named after the inventor of German shorthand, since you ask). And, while I'm about it, Dutch doesn't have these rules about hyphenation, either in titles (Mattheuspassie) or streetnames (Juliana van Stolberglaan, where I am at this moment).

I'm halfway (or should I say half-way?) through listening now, in the background rather, but thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks for the heads-up Dovers!
