There are many famous pieces that were composed by Handel, "The Messiah", "Music For The Royal Fireworks!, "Zadok the Priest", and "Xerxes" are some that spring to mind.
Twenty nine. Among George Frideric Handel works, he composed 42 operas; 29 oratorios; more than 120 duets, trios and cantatas; chamber music, arias, church music; instrumental pieces, as well as 16 organ concertos.
His most famous pieces are Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F. He is also well known for his folk opera, Porgy & Bess.
He influenced most of the classical composers. Especially Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven: Both Mozart and Beethoven studied his works for their own knowledge on counterpoint and Mozart wrote an arrangement to Handel's most well known work Messiah. He also used the theme from Messiah, "And With His Stripes" in the Kyrie of his Requiem. He is reputed to have said of him, "Handel understands affect better than any of us. When he chooses, he strikes like a thunder bolt." Beethoven wrote that he was "the master of us all... the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb". Beethoven also emphasised above all the simplicity and popular appeal of Handel's music when he said..Haydn was inspired to write his two greatest oratorios The Creation and The Seasons after hearing performances of Handel's Israel in Egypt and Messiah in London. His music also inspired pieces from later composers such as Brahms, Grainger and Schoenberg.

No. They both wrote a lot of music for voice. As just two famous examples: Bach's Mass in B Minor, and Handel's "Messiah".
Handel wrote multiple operas and concertos. Some of his most famous pieces are the Messiah (which includes the Hallelujah chorus), the Harmonious Blacksmith, Royal Fireworks, and Water Music.

About 612 works in all. Pieces for chamber orchestra, arias, organ concertos, cantatas, oratorios and operas. A catalog system, HWV (Handel-Werke Verzeichnis) represents all 612 works (pieces), although HWV 1 is not necessarily the first work of Handel anymore than HWV 612 was his last work. The pieces were grouped into musical categories and thus numbered in that manner. The most common piece that we know of today is the Messiah ... it bears the HWV 56 number, but was not the 56th work he composed.
