«Messiah, oratorio by German-born English composer George Frideric Handel,
premiered in Dublin on April 13, 1742, at Easter rather than at Christmastime,
when it is popularly played in the present day.
A large-scale semidramatic work for chorus, soloists, and orchestra,
it is the source of the familiar “Hallelujah Chorus.”
Messiah is by far the most frequently performed of all oratorios.»

«The verses used as text for Messiah were assembled by Handel’s friend
Charles Jennens, a wealthy supporter of the arts.
They were drawn from three parts of the Bible:
Old Testament prophesies of the Messiah’s birth;
New Testament stories of the birth of Christ, his death, and his resurrection;
and verses relating ultimately to Judgment Day, with the final chorus text
drawn from the Book of Revelation.»

«Messiah was a triumphant success at its Irish premiere, perhaps
in part because the composer had been in town for most of the winter
offering a concert series that attracted considerable attention to his music.
The work found less favour in London until 1748, when a somewhat
less conservative bishop of London was appointed.
Anecdotes of the day suggest that it became a particular favourite
of King George II, who had been Handel’s patron in Hannover
before becoming king of England.»

«The oratorio’s “Hallelujah Chorus” occurs at the close of part two.
Its instrumental support is unusually bold for the Baroque era.
However, the musical structure combines the favoured techniques of the day,
as the choral parts are sometimes blended in homophonic harmony
(with chords supporting a single melody at a time) but just as frequently
in polyphonic complexity (with simultaneous and equally important melodies).
Its final pages build a fugue on the phrase “And he shall reign.”»

Many of the choruses in the oratorio feature a similar blending
of musical textures, with homophonic and polyphonic passages appearing in turn.
Other familiar choruses include “For Unto Us a Child Is Born” (part one),
“All We Like Sheep” (part two), and the concluding chorus of the entire work,
“Worthy Is the Lamb” (part three).»
