HANDEL'S 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!
