George Frideric Handel’s Messiah is arguably the greatest piece of participatory art ever created. Adored by millions, it is performed each year by renowned choirs and orchestras, as well as by audiences singing along with the words on their cell phones. But this work of triumphant joy was born in a worried age. Britain in the early Enlightenment was a place of astonishing creativity but also the seat of an empire mired in war, enslavement, and conflicts over everything from the legitimacy of government to the meaning of truth.

Excellent writing and the wide scope of the subject.

If you want a narrow to description of Handel’s process in composing the Messiah or an analysis of the music, this book is probably not for you but I loved the author’s wide ranging probe of 18th century British history and how it framed the writing and performance of this famous Oratorio. Beautifully done!
