Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & Academy of Ancient Music & Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford & Christopher Hogwood

Messiah is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1741 and first performed in 1742. The work combines choruses, arias and recitatives in large-scale Baroque choral writing with contrapuntal textures and dramatic choral passages, and it marked a significant development in Handel's choral output and in the history of the choral repertoire.
