Product Description
The Messiah (HWV 56, 1741) is an oratorio about the life of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. It has 51 movements divided into three parts: the Prophecies about Jesus' birth, the Passion, and the Resurrection. The Hallelujah is the 42nd movement, at the end of the second part, where all the joy over the Messiah's victory over death and sin is demonstrated.
This work was composed by Handel for Easter, but it is usually performed at Christmas time as well. It is said that when the Messiah was performed in London, King George II, impressed by hearing the Hallelujah, stood up emotionally, giving rise to the custom of the audience standing up during the performance of this movement.
The present version presents the main theme of the work in a reduction for
Organ and chords
, ideal for
young music students to practice with their teachers for performance on the
Easter holiday.
