A little footnote. The Messiah was originally slated to premier at St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Protestant Church of Ireland). However, Handel had a falling out with the Dean of the Cathedral, Jonathan Swift (yes — that Jonathan Swift) and the debut was moved to a smaller venue in Dublin Wow. They say that Handel could be a difficult man. Even he said he was.

"Even he said he was." Lovers of truth usually are.
