The Oratorio that Transcended Time
Handel's Messiah, composed in 1741, is one of the most celebrated oratorios in Western music.
George Frideric Handel composed this masterpiece, which is performed frequently during the Christmas season.
The work is divided into three parts: the Prophecy, the Passion, and the Resurrection, highlighting key events in Christianity.
Notable pieces including "Hallelujah" and "For Unto Us a Child Is Born" are a staple in choral repertoires.
