Résumé du livre
Most everyone has heard Handel's MESSIAH. Maybe you've actually performed it. But if you thought you knew all about the great composer's famous oratorio, it may surprise you to learn that Handel composed the work solely for money; its first performance was in London; the "Hallelujah" chorus originally had a different name. These and many more entertaining facts await your discovery in this delightful volume.
