| MESSIAH
IN
THE
NEWS |
NOTE:
Certainly George
Frideric Handel has no idea when he
was composing his unusual oratorio
Messiah how far-reaching and
universal its appeal would be.
Messiah has permeated almost
every corner of the globe, and both
he and his now-famous work receives
almost daily mention in news outlets
around the world. Here I will
post collected news articles about
Handel and Messiah, as well as post
any updates to this site.
Check back often!
