"Der Messias"

"Der Messias" (The Messiah) is an oratorio by composer Georg Friedrich Handel that celebrates the Christian belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior. It is divided into three parts, covering prophecy, Christ’s life, and his resurrection and future glory, based on biblical texts. The work is renowned for its majestic choral pieces, especially the "Hallelujah" chorus, and is often performed during the Easter and Christmas seasons. While it highlights Christian theology, its musical grandeur and emotional depth have made it a timeless masterpiece appreciated across cultures and faiths for its artistic excellence.
