The largest city in Saxony-Anhalt, birthplace of the composer Georg Friedrich Händel (5)

I believe the answer is:

halle

(Other definitions for halle that I've seen before include "Manchester-based orchestra" , "Berry, possibly" , "Noted players" , "Manchester's orchestra" , "Manchester orchestra founder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
