EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the cover of the sheet music for Handel's Messiah, published in 1742. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist from the 18th century, is a treasured piece held in a private collection. The cover features intricate details that pay homage to George Frederick Handel, the renowned German composer and musician. The Latin phrase "Majora Canamus" adorns the top of the page, translating to "Let us Sing of Great Things". This sets the tone for what lies within - a masterpiece that celebrates spirituality and divine mysteries. Accompanying this powerful message is a quote: "And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness: God was manifested in flesh. . ". These words evoke awe and reverence as they describe profound spiritual truths. Handel composed Messiah in 1741 with its premiere taking place on April 13th, 1742 in Dublin. The composition gained immense popularity over time and remains one of his most celebrated works. Notably, it includes the iconic Hallelujah Chorus which has become synonymous with joyous celebration. This photograph beautifully captures not only Handel's musical genius but also serves as a testament to his contribution to classical music history. It invites viewers into a world where melodies transcend time and touch souls across generations.
