Messiah Händel

HÄNDELS MESSIAS
Alle kender Halleluja-koret – og for mange er en jul uden Händels Messias helt utænkelig. Nu inviterer Copenhagen Phil og kammerkoret Musica Ficta til en perfekt optakt til juledagene.

Händel skrev Messias på kun 24 dage. Oratoriet blev uropført i Dublin, og Händel fik sit eget transportable orgel sejlet fra London til Dublin til formålet. Publikum var i ekstase. Avisen Dublin News­Letter beskrev begivenheden som: ”… flottere end noget andet i samme genre, der har været spillet i dette eller noget andet kongerige.”

Siden dengang er Händels Messias blevet et centralt værk for ethvert kor, uanset størrelse. I 1800­tallet går man nærmest amok i at opføre Messias med gigantiske opbud af sangere og musikere – i Londons Crystal Palace kan man i 1857 gå til Händel­festival, hvor man opfører Messias med 2000 sangere og et orkester på over 500 mand. Nogle få musikere og kritikere forsøger forsigtigt at foreslå, at Messias måske ville lyde bedre med ganske få virkelig dygtige sangere og et orkester på størrelse med Händels eget fremfor med 2000 henrykte amatører. De taler for døve øren i 1800­-tallet – men i dag synger elitekammerkoret Musica Fictas 12 sangere både kor og arier, når Bo Holten står i spidsen for et af julemånedens bedste bud på en musikalsk juletradition.

HANDEL'S MESSIAH
Everyone knows the Hallelujah choir - and for many, a Christmas without Handel's Messiah is completely unthinkable. Now Copenhagen Phil and the chamber choir Musica Ficta invite you to a perfect prelude to the Christmas days.

Handel wrote Messiah in just 24 days. The oratorio was premiered in Dublin, and Handel had his own transportable organ shipped from London to Dublin for the purpose. The audience was ecstatic. The Dublin NewsLetter newspaper described the event as: "... more beautiful than anything of its kind that has been played in this or any other kingdom ."

Since then, Handel's Messiah has become a central work for any choir, regardless of size. In the 1800s, people almost went crazy in performing the Messiah with gigantic numbers of singers and musicians - in London's Crystal Palace in 1857 you could go to the Handel Festival, where you perform the Messiah with 2000 singers and an orchestra of over 500 men. A few musicians and critics tentatively try to suggest that the Messiahperhaps would sound better with quite a few really talented singers and an orchestra the size of Handel's own rather than with 2000 delighted amateurs. They spoke for the deaf ear in the 1800s - but today the elite chamber choir Musica Ficta's 12 singers sing both choruses and arias when Bo Holten leads one of the Christmas month's best offers for a musical Christmas tradition.
