Description

Handel’s Messiah is perhaps the most iconic musical composition in modern history, and the “Hallelujah Chorus” is its crowning feature. Yet, beyond the angelic-sounding notes is a bedrock of Bible. In fact, the entire work chronicles God’s grand story of redemption through Scripture quotations alone. These biblical meditations sing of the Messiah’s foretelling in the Old Testament, as well as his birth, life, death, burial, resurrection, and glorious ascension in the New. This month, we will look at these Christ-centered scriptures and respond with our own exultant “Hallelujah” occasioned by Handel’s musical composition.
