George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" was composed in 1741 during a time when oratorios were becoming increasingly popular in England, reflecting the rise of public concert culture. The work premiered in Dublin in 1742 and was inspired by biblical texts, particularly the Old and New Testaments, aimed at conveying the story of Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection. The oratorio was initially met with mixed reviews but eventually gained acclaim, becoming a staple of Western choral repertoire and a symbol of the Christmas season. Handel's innovative use of elaborate musical forms and emotive melodies helped elevate the oratorio genre, influencing future composers.
