Composed in 1741 and first performed in 1742, Handel's Messiah is one of the most popular pieces in the Choral literature. Handel originally wrote Messiah for modest vocal and instrumental forces, with optional settings for many of the individual numbers, but in the years after his death, the work was adapted for performance on a much larger scale. This performance will include the c.40 voice Guelph Chamber Choir, and the period instruments of Musica Viva Orchestra.
