George Frideric Handel composed the music for “Messiah” in 24 days. It contains the well-known “For Unto Us a Child is Born,” and “Hallelujah Chorus;” both of which will be performed at the Sarah Raines Concert Series performance. Handel’s Messiah takes its lyrics from biblical verses. Musicologist Watkins Shaw described the lyrics as “a meditation of our Lord as Messiah in Christian thought and belief.”
