His most famous piece is 'Water Music'Uh, no, his most famous piece is The Messiah, because of the Hallelujah Chorus. Yeah, a lot of musicians are great, but there's literally no other who still causes people all over the world to stand when they hear one particular composition. Well done, George!
That's what I was thinking. But maybe in the U.K. things are different.
Ditto.

I love Handel’s music! This is really exciting news for me.
A few years ago I attended the Cleveland Orchestra’s performance of Handel’s Messiah and when the first few bars were played, I literally got tears in my eyes. Severance Hall has exquisite acoustics and to hear it live with a world-renowned orchestra, well, pure heaven.
I can't wait to hear this.
Why does music have to be “translated?”
>Uh, no, his most famous piece is The Messiah, because of the Hallelujah Chorus.<
It’s not only because of the Hallelujah Chorus but more so because it represents the life of Christ. “Unto us a Child is born” ia as awesome and moving as the Chorus.
“Professor Donald Burrows, a leading expert on Handel, found the unfinished translation in a set of archives.”
Maybe the vandals stole the Handel.
I wonder how much of it will sound familiar. Handel steals from himself sometimes.
I was going to say “handel’s Messiah” too...maybe it’s the most famous in America?
