Handel's Messiah is an oratorio composed by George Frideric Handel in 1741. It is one of the most famous works in classical music, particularly known for its powerful choruses and arias. The piece is divided into three parts, focusing on the birth, passion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The oratorio is often performed during the Christmas season, especially the famous "Hallelujah" chorus. Handel wrote the music in just 24 days, and it has since become a staple in concert halls around the world, celebrated for its emotional depth and musical brilliance.
