Composed in 1741, George Frideric Handel’s Messiah is an English-language oratorio that tells the story of Jesus Christ, focusing on his birth, death, and resurrection. It’s structured in three parts, each reflecting a different stage in the Christian narrative. The libretto, compiled by Charles Jennens, uses passages from the King James Bible and the Coverdale Psalter. Profoundly meaningful, technically clever, and musically sublime, this masterpiece (in whole or in part) will leave you inspired.
