Messiah
-
I'm of mixed feelings on this. I appreciate the talent and the feeling of the music.
But...
Link to videoI remember listening to a lecture about "Messiah." The absolute mastery of Handel using the score (the actual tones) to convey the emotion of the lyrics ...
"Comfort ye..."
Descending notes - conveying ... comfort.
"Rough places plain..."
Small intervals, denoting how there is smoothness.
"Sayeth your God!"
Huge leaps denoting power, and majesty.
Somehow, this misses all those subleties.
