After 250 years (1741), it has the power to move listeners spiritually and musically. Drawing from both Testaments, Handel's Messiah has spawned groups of listeners dedicated to its performance. Musically, Messiah ranges from madrigal to aria, with an unvarying transparency of expression, imbued with humility and grace.
