Perhaps the world’s most well-known and beloved choral work, Handel's Messiah has transcended its time and place to become a "work of the people" shared by audiences and musicians around the world. Originally a feature of the Easter holiday, Messiah has become a Christmas season classic. Audience members customarily stand during its most well-known segment, the "Hallelujah Chorus," following the tradition set by King George II who, according to legend, leapt to his feet when he first heard it.
