As for Handel's Hallelujah, being a fan of classical music, I am sure that Pope Benedict is a great fan. This does not mean that is should be sung at a liturgy. At a special concert in praise of God, by all means!
Beat me to it - the Hallelujah Chorus, and indeed the whole of Messiah, is a gorgeous piece of music...but it is not liturgical music and would be utterly out of place at Mass.

Handel’s music would also be very Lutheran.
That just might be a show-stopper.
