My main book of research was Handel's Messiah: A Touchstone of Taste. The book is a journey throughout Handel's life that explores Handel's many oratorios, and discusses them in, for the most part, great detail. The author utilizes many of Handel's other works in comparison to Messiah.
Handel was a huge part of our Baroque era discussion in class, and was our main composer for oratorios for that era. We had a lot of information on Handel, and I thought with so much information about one man and his works, he must be important. On a personal note, I became interested in this piece when I subbed for a trombone player in Indianapolis. That may not sound significant to the topic, but I subbed in a "production" of Messiah, and was floored when I heard the choir. This piece has always been an interest of mine. Not particularly on where it came from but to perform it. I fell in love with the music and have since wanted to play or even sing on a concert that has this piece in it.......
