| 3.0 good | Do I have somfing n my face? | February 9th 23 |
takes a while to get into as the first 1/3 - 1/2 is quite boring, but elevates thuswards to result in the epicity that is hallelujah and the closing movements

In retrospect, it would be hard for England's (German-imported) greatest composer of oratorios to botch this, an oratorio about the death and rebirth of Jesus. But as unsurprising as it is that this is great, it's worth acknowledging just *how* great it is - dramatic music that doesn't quite reach the darkness of Bach's Passions, for instance, but presents itself as full of life instead. The forthcoming resurrection is but a foregone conclusion here, which makes this story feel more complete than other takes. You get the resolution of the Christ story without having to sit in the dark stuff, and sometimes, particularly around a certain December holiday, that's what people are looking for.

1741. The life of Jesus Christ. You weren't there, but this is pretty good.
