Any day in the year is a good day to hear Handel’s Messiah.
Same thing for another of his large scale compositions;
one called “Fireworks”. Listen to it like a proven tonic. Fireworks can make you feel 10 feet tall and still growing. Lots of whole notes, a slowed tempo, similar to our breathing patterns. Shattering, glass breaking crescendos near the Coda (the end) too, like having a bucket of ice water thrown in your face. I guess you could say that I like it.
They truly don’t write music like they used to.
