The Hallelujah Chorus is one of the most famous choral pieces from George Frideric Handel's oratorio Messiah, written in 1741. Messiah is one of Handel's most renowned works, often performed during the Christmas season. The Hallelujah Chorus serves as the climax of the second part of Messiah, which focuses on the Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ.
The lyrics are drawn from the Book of Revelation and celebrate the glory and majesty of God, with a special emphasis on Christ's exaltation as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Beginning with the word Hallelujah, an expression of praise and adoration to God, the music is grand, triumphant, and filled with jubilation. Featuring majestic choral singing and powerful orchestration, it is often performed with a large choir and orchestra, creating a dramatic and awe-inspiring musical experience.
