Messiah

An oratorio in three parts for soloists, chorus, and orchestra by Handel (text compiled by Charles Jennens from various passages in the Bible), first performed in Dublin in 1742. Portions of the work were later revised; the entire oratorio was first published in 1767, after Handel’s death.
