George Frideric Handel’s Messiah needs no introduction. This mighty yet majestic masterpiece is the most popular oratorio ever written and includes, arguably, the most famous chorus of all time—the iconic Hallelujah! Handel was a master chorus writer and for Messiah he certainly pulled out all the stops, placing the choir front and centre throughout.

Although it has become synonymous with Christmas, Messiah was originally written as an Easter offering, bursting onto the stage of the Musick Hall in Dublin in April 1742.

Taken from its Award-winning 2008 complete recording of Messiah (COR16062), this collection from The Sixteen celebrates the wonderful choruses that have given so many singers, both amateur and professional, such joy and inspired an enduring love for this epic work.

Track Listing

Symphony
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
And he shall purify
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
For unto us a child is born
Glory to God in the highest
His yoke is easy, and his burthen is light
Behold the Lamb of God
Surely he hath borne our griefs
And with his stripes we are healed
All we like sheep have gone astray
He trusted in God that he would deliver him
Lift up your heads, O ye gates
Let all the angels of God worship him
The Lord gave the word
Their sound is gone out into all lands
Let us break their bonds asunder
Hallelujah!
Since by man came death
But thanks be to God
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Amen
