No other work of music has been so popular for so long. Yet familiarity can sometimes breed contempt and also misunderstanding. This book by music expert Calvin Stapert will greatly increase understanding and appreciation of Handel's majestic Messiah, whether readers are old friends of this remarkable work or have only just discovered its magnificence. Stapert provides fascinating historical background, tracing not only Messiah's unlikely inception but also its amazing reception throughout history. The bulk of the book offers scene-by-scene musical and theological commentary on the whole work, focusing on the way Handel's music beautifully interprets and illuminates the biblical text. ; Contents: [pt. 1] Three histories : "God moves in a mysterious way" -- Oratorio before Handel -- Handel -- Messiah -- [pt. 2.] Purpose : "I wish to make them better" -- To teach and delight -- Messiah versus Deism -- [pt. 3] Commentary : "Great is the mystery of godliness" -- Before we begin -- Part the first : The coming of the Messiah -- Part the second : Lamb of God, King of Kings -- Part the third : Resurrection of the dead, worship of the Lamb ; FINE/FINE.
