Oratorio, choir, 50 choristers, soloists and baroque orchestra - Part 1, Excerpts from Messiah This oratorio, an immense masterpiece, is one of the universal sacred works. Magnificent and luminous, sparkling, popular, synonymous with joy: who doesn't know the famous Alleluia! The orchestration is skilful, and the choirs, all sumptuous and so different, play an important role. The texts are taken from the Bible, Old and New Testaments. Handel found the right tone to support the words. The writer Stefan Zweig described the Messiah as "the treasure of humanity". Part 2: Dixit Dominus in full The Dixit Dominus is the best-known work from this period, from Handel's fiery youth, when he was 22 years old. This dazzling fresco of sound, inspired by Baroque Rome and characterised by intense, contrasting musical expression, is of extraordinary expressive intensity, of flamboyant dramatic power, imposing, spectacular, fiery, daring and full of sensitivity! The work is structured by alternating rhythms, textures and distinct moods, creating a remarkable dramatic effect; this constant energy, between dynamism and interiority, is at the heart of the work's aesthetic. Dixit Dominus catapulted him to fame: it is a truly virtuoso work, a masterpiece of sacred music written in 1707.
