It Can’t be Christmas Without Handel’s Messiah
It can’t be Christmastime without a performance of Handel’s Messiah.
Although originally written for Easter services, Messiah has become more closely identified with the Christmas season. Written in 1741, it is undoubtedly the best-known choral work in the English language. It’s inspired music, and message of hope, features the famed “Hallelujah Chorus” and the spectacular solo “The Trumpet Shall Sound.”
