Opis

In this book, the author, W. Arthur Ralph, Describes this beloved Oratorio as more than just that. He sees it as a perennial Spiritual Teaching. Most of those who perform or listen to Handel's masterpiece each year at Christmas time will agree that it is divinely inspired, but generally they are thinking of the musical work. While the music is magnificent and inspiring, in this interpretation, the author gives his attention to the words, and shows how fragments of scripture have been selected from the Old and New Testaments and rearranged to form a work that becomes scripture in itself. Here is the key by which The Messiah becomes a teaching that leads the Seeker to the foundation of his own being, and to the origin of life itself. It gives an entirely new dimension to what is probably Handel's greatest work.
