The music of Christmas is part of
the season's charm, and of all the
musical works associated with-
Christmas, perhaps none is as
beloved as George Frederick
Handel's masterpiece, Messiah.
As a young man, Handel was
appointed conductor to the Elector of
Hanover, in his. native country.
During the autumn of 1710, he
visited London, where he met with
great success. A year later, Handel
returned to London and after being
presented with a pension by the
reigning Queen Anne, he decided not
to return to his homeland.
However, Anne died and in a
unique turn of events, Handel's old
master, the Elector of Hanover, now
George I, ascended the throne of
England.
Fortunately, the new king was a
true music lover, and he restored
Handel to favour. Handel soon
occupied a key position in the artistic
life of England, writing, producing
and directing operas.
Eventually he turned from opera to
the oratorio form, reaching the mass
audience of his day. His oratorios
were choral dramas of great vitality
and grandeur, ideally suited to the
middle class of England..

Messiah is the crowning work of
Handel. Written in just 24 days, it
was performed for the first time in
1742. It expressed the faith of the
man who was Handel, the man who
exclaimed to his servant, upon
completing the oratorio, "I did think I
did see all heaven before me, and the
great God Himself!"
The libertto is a compilation of
verses from the Bible. Although the
libertto is generally attributed to
Charles Jennens, a wealth patron of
the arts, there is reason to believe the
Jennen's chaplain was more than
partially responsible for it.
In the first part of the oratorio, the
prophecies of the coming of Christ
and His birth are treated; this is the
portion most frequently performed at
Christmas time. The verses are drawn
from the prophets of the Old
Testament, the Psalms, the
Evangelists and the letters of St.
Paul.
The second part of the oratorio
concludes with the famed Hallelujah
Chorus. So moved was King George
upon hearing this chorus, tradition
says, he spontaneously rose to his
feet. Today, audiences still stand
during the Hallelujah Chorus in
tribute to this great work.
