Me​ssiah

George Frideric Handel

Messiah, composed in 1741, traces the story of Jesus Christ. It was first ​performed in Dublin in 1742 and received its London premiere nearly ​a year later. The oratorio gained in popularity and eventually became ​one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral pieces ​in Western music. The ‘Hallelujah’ chorus is one of the most famous ​pieces of Baroque choral music. Though it was originally written for ​Easter, Handel’s eminently singable Messiah has become a mains​tay of the festive season.
