He had completed writing a new…

Though George Frideric Handel (168501759) often gets sole credit for Messiah, the selection and ordering of the Scripture was compiled into a libretto by Charles Jennens (1700-1773). As a wealthy landowner, Jennens supported his two great passions –…

Isaiah 40: The Comfort of God's Grace

This passage was made famous by George Frideric Handel’s Messiah, “Comfort Ye My People,” the second piece heard in Part I. In this recitative, God gives comfort and promises salvation. #ComfortYeMyPeople #GodsComfort #GodsGrace

Context Isaiah remembered, in his historical interlude, the time King Hezekiah of Judah had been completely taken in by the flattering attention of the Babylonian envoys. Since Babylon was not a major power at that time, Hezekiah was not alert to the risks of giving them the cook’s tour of his palace, armory, and the temple’s outer courts. Instead, the young king enjoyed showing off to them, and…

Peace and Good Will

At this time of year, hearing Handel’s perennial Messiah on the radio makes me nostalgic. His oratorio brings written words to life with stirring music. When I think of angelic voices, I imagine choirs singing: And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:13-14) This…
