Position:Home>Performing Arts> Does anyone preform Handel's Messiah during Easter?Question:Thanks. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Thanks. Often, one half is done at Christmas, one half is done at Easter. The Hallelujah Chorus is supposed to be done at Easter, but usually done at Christmas. I have performed it at Easter twice. That makes sense . . . . It's about the Resurrection. Handel 's Messaiah was actually performed in Ireland for the first time. Ireland is a "Christian" nation, although his most fervent supporters were those in the Jewish community. I am fairly certain that Germany did not appreciate his talent, so he left and moved to Great Britian. It's usually performed around Christmas - I've never heard of a performance during Easter. Sorry. it usually is, but my high school chorus sang it @ our christmas concert. well, selections from it. it was pretty cool. |
