Messiah HWV 56

Approved

Why is Handel's Messiah actually performed in winter? The question is justified, since the work depicts the whole life of Jesus, plus the resurrection. However, Handel and his copywriter were not entirely fair. The Christmas nativity scenes take up more space than the briefly kept crucifixion - and the resurrection choirs almost never end, which is why the main impression remains: the Annunciation and the birth of Jesus, a few dark clouds in between and then a lot of "Hallelujah". No composer was as good at representative as Handel, which is why all composers after him diligently copied his festive choirs. Today we're celebrating the original: with one of the best baroque ensembles ever, the Berlin Academy of Early Music.
