Handel’s Messiah

Arts & Literature

“How is it that Messiah, which took Handel only about three weeks to compose, continues to captivate audiences nearly three centuries on? Athnos’ book gives us an intriguing basis on which we might begin to answer that question, showing that there is a lot more going on here than inspiring words and pretty notes. I highly recommend this book to anyone, performer or listener, who wishes to enhance their understanding of Handel’s spiritual intent.”
