Some of the most popular choruses and arias from Handel’s masterpiece well arranged for Piano and of moderate difficulty. Contents: And the glory of the Lord For unto us a child is born Gloryto God He shall feed his flock Hallelujah I know that my redeemer liveth.Messiah is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel witha scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible and from the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer. After an initially modest public reception the oratorio gained in popularity eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.

For the occasion of the coronation of King George II and Queen Caroline which took place in Westminster Abbey on October 11 1727 Handel wrote four splendid anthems and personally supervised their performance which was according to all reports one of great magnificence. The four anthems were enthusiastically received and one or more of them has been performed at every British coronation since 1727. Anthem No. 2 ('The King Shall Rejoice') although less well-known than Anthem No. 1 is an equally splendid example of Handel's ceremonial style - what Burney has affectionately termed his 'big bow-bow manner'. This work contains an opening Allegro brilliant and elegantrather than pompous; a grandiose setting of 'Glory and great worship hast thou laid upon him'; and a lively fugal Alleluia as a conclusion.For six-part chorus of mixed voices with organ or piano accompaniment.
