Handel's "Messiah" is an oratorio composed by George Frideric Handel in 1741. It is one of the most famous works in the choral repertoire, known for its powerful music and profound text, which is based on passages from the Bible. The oratorio is divided into three parts, focusing on the prophecy, the birth, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The most well-known section of "Messiah" is the "Hallelujah" chorus, often performed during the Christmas season. Handel composed the work in a remarkably short time, completing it in just 24 days. Today, "Messiah" is regularly performed in concert halls and churches around the world, celebrating its enduring popularity.
