| Summary | Every Easter, audiences across the globe thrill to performances of Handel's 'Hallelujah Chorus', but they would probably be appalled to learn the full extent of the oratorio's anti-Judaic message. In this pioneering study, respected musicologist Michael Marissen examines Handel's masterwork and uncovers a disturbing message of anti-Judaism buried within its joyous celebration of the divinity of the Christ. |
