Four: D, A, C and G. Only two drums (26" and 29") are needed though. The only chorus part that has pitch changes is: "For unto us." That starts in D and A, then they are changed to C and G, finally the C is changed back to D. "Glory to God" (depending on the edition) has Timpani in D/A. Of course, "Hallelujah" is in D/A. :)
George Frideric Handel's favorite instrument was the organ. He was a skilled organist and composed many works that showcased the instrument's capabilities, including his famous "Water Music" and "Messiah." Handel's proficiency and passion for the organ significantly influenced his compositions and performances during his lifetime.
No, Timpani is a concert pitch instrument. In many case you wont even have a key rather you'll put accidental marking for every instance of a flat or sharp note.
The difference is that pitched instruments play notes, whereas non pitched instruments do not. Example, there are many non pitched percussion instruments, like snare drums, but drums such as timpani's actually play notes and can be adjusted, making them pitched. All woodwind brass and string instruments are considered pitched.
There are many percussion instruments that can be used in the symphony orchestra, but the most common are timpani, bass drum and cymbals, also the triangle.
different notes are simply the heads being pulled tighter or loosened. If you want music theory, if the song you are playing is a very minor song, you tune the drum to the note that will sound minor at that time or major. A timpani is the main drum for that purpose, because it can be tuned a little easier. It could also mean the drummer liked the way it sounded and doesn't mean anything beyond that. You can't over think these things.
It can be Timpani or Tympani. They are both accepted by many.
