About the Concert
“I hope he will lay out his whole genius and skill upon it, that the composition may excel all his former compositions, as the Subject excels every other subject. The subject is Messiah…”
Completed in 1741 in an astonishing twenty-four days, Handel’s Messiah, which chronicles the life of Jesus Christ, received a modest reception from the public at its first London performance. Nearly three centuries after its composition, however, its popularity has increased dramatically to the point where it is arguably the best-known and most frequently performed choral work in all Western music.
