Although Handel’s Messiah originally premiered during the Easter Season, it has become especially connected with Advent and Christmas. This is perhaps due to the artistic beauty of part one of the oratorio. The music provided for the Biblical text of Isaiah C. 9 v. 6 is especially joyful and vibrant: For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. At this point in the oratorio, the entire choir is involved beginning with the sopranos, then followed by the tenors and baritones. There are layers and waves of song in which the Biblical verse is repeated multiple times. It is really one of the great highlights of a performance that can last more than two and a half hours. But in the midst of all the beauty of the music, one might overlook the significance of the actual verse, in particular the line - For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. Who is this Child? It can only be the Messiah…Christ the Son of God and Son of Mary. And Who is giving Him to us? It is the heavenly Father, as well as the Blessed Mother. Again, consider what’s being said here…the Christ Child…the Divine Infant…Has been given to us…the Son of God and Son of Mary is a gift given to us …a gift that we possess. And though we are infinitely unworthy, this is a gift that we can use to our own benefit.
