The Messiah is Handel’s best known oratorio. The German-born composer visited England in 1710 and, finding great success there, adopted it as his home. He composed The Messiah in twenty-four days during the late summer of 1741 using passages selected from Old and New Testament scriptures. Upon completing the famous “Hallelujah Chorus” he later recalled, “I did think I did see all heaven before me, and the Great God himself.” Handel conducted Messiah’s first performance in Dublin, Ireland, on April 13, 1742, as a benefit for three of the city’s charities. Attended by Dublin’s most fashionable patrons, it was an immediate and resounding success.
