What a joy it is to be singing The Messiah again this Christmas! We hope you will come and share this glorious experience with us.
The Messiah, composed by George Frideric Handel in 1741, is one of the most celebrated choral works in Western music. Written in just over three weeks in a burst of inspiration, it tells the story of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection. Its text draws from the Bible to highlight themes of prophecy, redemption and salvation. While originally performed during Easter, The Messiah has become closely associated with Christmas, particularly for its famous “Hallelujah” chorus. Handel’s powerful use of chorus, soloists, and orchestra has made The Messiah a timeless masterpiece of emotional and spiritual expression.
