Handel was a composer born in Halle, Germany, in 1685, the same year as Bach. He spent half of his life in London and left behind numerous works, including operas and oratorios.

The Bourrée is a clear dance form that was popular in 17th-century France, characterized by an anacrusis and a contrasting, more subdued character in its middle section.

G major, Allegro, 4/4 time.

The non-legato in the lower voice expresses the overall character of this piece.

The first half is very simple, consisting of phrases of two, two, and four measures.

The middle section temporarily passes through the sound of E minor, which is the relative key to the tonic.

Returning to the tonic key, the same phrase is repeated as if to emphasize it, reaching the highest note of the piece before concluding with a chord.
