George Frederick Handel, composer of the Baroque Era -

Born - 23rd of February, 1685 in Halle, Germany

Died - 14th of April, 1759 in London, England

Buried in Westminster Abbey, London

Major works include - 47 Operas, 12 Concertos, 16 Oratorios.

Genres - Italianate operas, English oratorios.

Handel had lost his sight by the time he died.

Along with Johann Sebastian Bach, he is considered to be a master of the Baroque Period.

Handel was 56 years of age when he wrote the Messiah

About 612 works in all. Pieces for chamber orchestra, arias, organ concertos, cantatas, oratorios and operas.

A catalog system, HWV (Handel-Werke Verzeichnis) represents all 612 works (pieces), although HWV 1 is not necessarily the first work of Handel anymore than HWV 612 was his last work. The pieces were grouped into musical categories and thus numbered in that manner.

The most common piece that we know of today is the Messiah ... it bears the HWV 56 number, but was not the 56th work he composed.

The Messiah Oratorio basically chronicles Christ's life based upon the stories told in the New Testament, however the largest selection of Biblical text used in this oratorio comes from the Old Testament, mostly the books of Isaiah, Haggai and Malachi.

Actually two great composers were born in the same year as Handel -one was Johann Sebastian Bach and the other was Domenico Scarlatti -there were probably dozens of less important ones born in that year -1685 I think.

6 the tempo is six chickens

I want to know that too

Composed in London during the summer of 1741 and premiered in Dublin, Ireland on 13 April 1742

Handel's Messiah is an Oratorio, which is basically an opera without a stage. The Messiah is one of the few of Handel's Oratorio's without characters, which leads to the confusion expressed by many people (including yourself).

The oratorio itself has a colorful place in music history; Handel's turning to the genre occured after the British public lost taste for his operas.

Handel's YOUNG MESSIAH is a beautiful walk through the Bible, and suitable for listening any time of the year. If you are a believer in Christ and Eternity you will most likely desire your own copy. I began to listen to it 20 yrs ago this next Spring.
