Handel's Messiah raised
composer's spirits from
the depths of depression
BY JOSEPH HERDMAN
When, in the year 1710, the
young Handel's wanderlust
first took him to London,
England, the musical life of
that city was- almost com-
pletely under the influence of
Italian opera. No conditions
could have been more
congenial to Handel at that
point in his life.
Despite' his training as a
church musician he was, by
temperament and early
professional experience, a
man of the theatre. Already,
at the age of 25, he had five
operas to his credit, and when
the libretto of a new opera,
'Rinaldo', came into his
hands, he set to work on, it
immediately.
The music was composed in
the incredibly short space of
14 days, and the opera was
produced_ sumptuously and
successfully at the Queen's
Theatre in the Haymarket. It
was Handel's first London
success.
Handel returned to Ger-

the lowest point of his career,
that Handel received from
Charles Jennens the libretto
of an Oratorio titled
'Messiah'. It gripped his
imagination and roused him
from his depression. He
worked on it - and worked as
he had never worked before,
The composition was
started on August 22nd, 1741,
and completed in 24 days. It
would surely be true to say
that the year 1741 saw the
death of Handel as an opera
composer, and the birth,
through frustration and
despair, of one of the most
inspired and best -loved
choral works in existence.
DUBLIN
In the same year that
'Messiah' was completed
Handel received from the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland an
invitation to visit Dublin and
give a series of • charity
concerts. Handel gladly
accepted, and left London for
Dublin in November, 1741,
taking the newly -completed
score with him.
He paused at Chester while
waiting for some calmin the
rough seas of St. George's
Channel, and held the first
rehearsal of the new work in
that city, with the aid of local
singers and instrumentalists.
Handel was greeted with
enormous enthusiasm when
he finally reached Dublin,
and was installed in a fine
suite of rooms in Abbey
Street.
He wrote to his librettist: "I
cannot sufficiently express
the kind treatment I receive
here, but the politeness of this
generous nation cannot be
unknown to you, so I let you
judge of the satisfaction I
enjoy, passing my time with
honour, profit and pleasure".
A series of six concerts
proved so popular that it was
followed by a further series of
six, but the score of 'Messiah'
remained hidden, and Handel
made no mention of the new
work until sometime in
March, 1742,
When the existence of
'Messiah' and the possibility
of its first performance in
Dublin became known, the
city buzzed with interest and
excitement. A public
rehearsal was held, to which
those who held tickets for the
first performance were ad-
mitted.
Those who were present at
the rehearsal were so
thusiastic about what t
had heard that at the
public performance hundr
