St. Paul's Music Guild is excited to present part 1 of Handel's Messiah!This year, St. Paul's Music Guild has pulled all the stops and is bringing the Salem community the entirety of Handel's Messiah. This December 7th, the Trinity Choir at St. Paul's will present the first part of three (Advent/Christmas) with orchestra after the service of Evensong at 4:00pm. This masterpiece is beloved the world over and will be presented in its entirety over three concerts during the 2025-26 year. This concert will last approximately 55 minutes and will include soloists from the choir.
Part I of the oratorio focuses on the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah's coming and the Nativity of Christ, beginning with themes of comfort and anticipation from texts by Isaiah, and moving to the joyful announcement to the shepherds. Composed in 1741 by Handel, the libretto was created by Charles Jennens.
The concert is open to the public with free will donations gratefully accepted at the door or online at stpaulsoregon.org. Livestream will be available on the web site.
