An overview of Handel’s classic musical masterpiece, The Messiah.
Messiah is one of the best-known works of Handel. Since its creation, the oratorio has undergone many changes though it has not lost its foundation. It stands out due to its simplicity and colorful text-painting that easily overwhelm the emotions even of an average listener. Its interchanges of movements between solos to choruses are most powerful and compel a listener to wake in its rhythm.
