Messiah (HWV 56), composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.

ALL ARE WELCOME to participate in performance of this classic.


DURING THE SEASON OF ADVENT THE 1045a CHOIR PRESENTS PORTIONS OF "MESSIAH"
that appropriately correspond to the readings of the day during Mass.
