What work by Handel is performed at Christmas?

Actually, it's an Oratorio, not a musical ... The Messiah. It actually has 3 parts - the first part is generally performed at Christmas time. The 2nd part is performed around Easter. Although the Hallelujah Chorus is sung most often at Christmas, it was originally intended, by Handel, to be used only at Easter, as it is included in the Easter portion of that oratorio.

What was the original meaning of the Messiah How did the meaning change?

The word messiah comes from the Hebrew "moshiach" (the ch at the end is hard, like in Bach or Loch) which comes from the root "mashah" meaning anointed. Leviticus 8 describes the ritual by which Aaron was anointed as high priest. First Samuel 10 describes the anointment of Saul as King. High Priests and Kings continued to be anointed for as long as these offices existed. Later, when the last of the Davidic kings was deposed, messianic prophecies emerged ot a future restoration of the monarchy by a divinely appointed messiah. The Messiah would re-establish an independent Jewish kingdom. As time passed, these prophesies grew in grandeur, until they became part of escatology and the messiah was no longer a human king but, at least in Christian eyes, divine.

How did ancient Hebrews understand the idea of Messiah?

The word "Messiah" (מחשיח) to the ancient Hebrews referred to any Jewish priest or king. Anointment was part of the process of being installed as king or priest. There was nothing particularly religious about the term. In times of trouble, when there was no king on the throne, the word "messiah" referred to the next king, who would come and rescue them. It never had a connection with spiritual salvation until the writers of the New Testament redefined it, incorporating into it some Greek spiritual beliefs.
