City Choir Dunedin - Handel's Messiah

Handel’s Messiah is one of the most well-known and best-loved works in the choral repertoire.
The power of Handel’s musical imagination, the wealth of ideas, the depth of inspiration and the sheer variety of invention continue to make this work unique. Choirs all around the world love singing it! Handel could never have imagined that this oratorio, which he began composing on 22 August 1741, finishing it in 24 days, would live on through generations, becoming such a popular work throughout the world, especially on the Christian calendar. It comprises a mammoth meditation on the Christian message, with dramatic interludes.
It has been described as a mixture of narrative and commentary, which freed Handel from some of the more restrictive opera conventions and permitted greater use of the chorus than is generally the case in his other oratorios.
