Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & Musica Sacra & Richard Westenburg

Messiah is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1741 and first performed in 1742. The work features Baroque choral and solo writing with orchestral accompaniment, setting biblical texts in a three-part structure that traces the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and it occupies an important place in Handel's output and the choral repertoire of the Baroque era.
