In 1741, Handel was invited by the Duke of Devonshire to go to Dublin, Ireland and direct a performance of one of his works for charity.
About six weeks before this time, Handel's librettist, Charles Jennens, gave him a scripture libretto on the topic of the Messiah, and requested him to set it to music.
After the Duke's invitation, Handel decided he would compose music to this libretto for the Dublin charity performance.
