Handel Messiah with Bath Choral Society

Christmas would not be complete without hearing the timeless strains of Handel’s Messiah performed by Bath Choral Society in the magnificent surroundings of Bath Abbey. Perhaps most famous for its legendary ‘Hallelujah’ chorus, the joys and sorrows of Handel’s most popular oratorio embrace more than just the story of Christmas. Like the baby in the manger, it encompasses “all heaven and earth in little frame.” From the lilting ‘Pastoral Symphony’ as the shepherds watch their flocks to the effervescent ‘For Unto Us a Child is Born’ and triumphant ‘The Trumpet Shall Sound,’ the work takes us on a profound musical and spiritual journey.
