Handel successfully revived the organ class for non-majors at NEC, introducing over 30 students each year to the organ and its vast repertory. In this capacity he emphasizes the wide variety of musical and interpersonal skills that are required of the practicing church musician.

Handel is the Minister of Music at Church of the Covenant in Boston, where he has the privilege of playing the restored Welte-Tripp organ. At Covenant, Handel oversees a progressive and eclectic music program that, on any given Sunday, may include the music of Michael Jackson and Messiaen, or Bob Marley and Bach.

Recordings include works of Bach and d’Aquin with the Boston Cecilia and Duruflé’s Requiem (solo organ version) with the Phillips Exeter Academy Concert Choir, Newport Classic, and Phillips Academy. He has lectured on Messiaen throughout the U.S. and at the University of Sheffield (U.K.) International Messiaen Festival.
