  1. Messiah HWV 56 - George Frideric Handel

Famous and/or popular novels, paintings and pieces of music become famous and/or popular for good reasons. In the case of Messiah, the choruses are exciting, challenging and varied in style; some of them are all-time choral classics (Hallelujah, Amen); there are take-overs from the soloists needing both finesse and alertness (O thou that tellest, But thanks be to God); and there is a strong though subtle narrative thread to help maintain concentration and focus from start to finish. The arias too are among Handel’s finest: the tenor’s melting Comfort ye, the scintillating invitation to Rejoice greatly from the soprano, the intensity of the alto’s He was despised and the drama of the bass’s invocation of the Last Judgement in The trumpet shall sound all contribute to a memorable musical experience.

With this performance of the entire Messiah score, The Ripieno Choir celebrates its 70th anniversary. Our fine team of soloists and the Monteverdi String Band (augmented for the occasion by the wind players – oboes, bassoon, trumpets and kettledrums – required by Handel’s score) will combine with our refined choral singing to produce a performance worthy of both the work and the occasion.
