    Description: Messiah (Handel)

    Messiah - GF Handel

    Messiah needs little introduction, being one of the most well known and loved oratorios in the choral canon, full of glorious arias and stirring ensembles, of which the Hallelujah Chorus is probably the most celebrated.

    Sometimes - wrongly! - associated with just the Christmas season, the work covers the entire life of Jesus Christ, from the ancient prophecies found in Old Testament, through his birth, and on to his trial and crucifixion, resurrection and ascension into heaven.

    Nonetheless, the work is, for many people, an excellent start to the festive season.
