The Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah, from the draft score of the famous composer's most famous work. The Messiah was largely written between 22nd of August and 14th of Sept ember 1741, and many amendments and corrections can be found in the score. These amendments were made while Handel composed the work, and before and after the oratio was first performed in 1742. In this section, part of the lyrics from the Hallelujah chorus can be seen, written in Handel's own hand. Creator: George Frideric Handel Shelfmark: R.M.20.f.2, 103v. Show more
