The composer's name was Georg Friedrich Händel, which he anglicized to George Frideric Handel when he moved to the UK. The Messiah is his most famous oratorio.

I guess you have a HANDEL on that situation now, right???
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Anyways... while I LOVE the piece, I HATE when people keep using "The Hallelujah Chorus" as a piece of CHRISTMAS music...it is NOT. It was written as the music for EASTER.
The appropriate section of The Messiah for Christmas is, "For unto us a child is born."
Just my little pet peeve!

George Frideric Handel wrote "Messiah" (there is no "The" in the name of the piece).
