Program


The three-part structure of the work approximates to that of Handel's three-act operas, with the "parts" subdivided into "scenes". Each scene is a collection of individual numbers or "movements" which take
the form of recitatives, arias and choruses.

 

Part I (the Christmas section - not performed in this concert) - The Messiah's coming and the virgin birth are predicted by the Old Testament prophets. The annunciation to the shepherds of the birth of the Christ is represented

in the words of Luke's gospel.
(Part I will not be performed in this concert)


Part II covers Christ's passion and his death, his resurrection and ascension, the first spreading of the gospel through the world, and a definitive statement of God's glory summarized in the "Hallelujah".

(Approximately 60 minutes)

INTERMISSION (15 minutes)

Part III begins with the promise of redemption, followed by a prediction of the day of judgment and the "general resurrection", ending with the final victory over sin and death and the acclamation of Christ.
(Approximately 35 minutes)
