Preparing for Messiah-Sing By Gerald Chafin Most complete editions of MESSIAH are in the 250 pages range. In other words, the entire work is rather lengthy! Lord of the Rings fans loved it. (However, in case you're worried, Tuesday evening's performance draws largely from the Christmas section, about 50 minutes.) Knowing the length of this masterwork allows us to appreciate the fact that Handel wrote MESSIAH in the space of about three weeks, between August 22 and September 14, 1741. The compositional process was an extremely intense experience. Handel rarely left his room and hardly ate during this time. Therefore, let's consider the personal impact of MESSIAH on Handel as the composer. No one shares the story better than Patrick Kavanaugh in The Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers - from the view of an employee: "He continued to wait on his employer, an eccentric composer, who spends hour after hour isolated in his room. Morning, noon, and evening he delivers appealing meals to the composer and returns later to find the bowls and platters largely untouched. He mutters under his breath about how oddly temperamental that musicians can be.Lindsey Wilson College Choral Ensembles with members of the Louisville Symphony and YOU! present selections from Handel's beloved masterwork on Tuesday, December 4, at 7pmCT at Columbia Baptist Church, 201 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY.
