HALLELUJAH! FOR HÄNDEL

George Friderich Händel, pretty snappy dresser, too!

On this date in 1741, George Frederick Händel completed his oratorio Messiah.

It has been sung by choirs and soloists the world over ever since, especially the most famous "Hallelujah Chorus".

PLEASE don't call it "The Messiah" - the correct title is just simply
Messiah.

Thanks, George! You did good.
