The Story Behind Handel's Messiah
"Messiah" is arguably the most iconic work of sacred music in English language. Handel compiled the biblical story of Jesus from birth to resurrection, including passages from Isaiah, the Gospels, the Book of Revelation, and more. As we approach the Christmas season, Leandro Palacios and Michael Karpowicz of Toronto Centre Place look into the music, the libretto, and the composer, to fully appreciate this masterpiece which continues to be recorded and performed all over the world today. Be ready to sing along!
