Description

Handel's MESSIAH: A Study Guide for Spiritual Contemplation This compact guide is designed to be read while listening to Handel's iconic oratorio, making it an ideal companion piece. Dr. Hal Brunson's didactic and meditative approach explores the musicological and theological aspects of MESSIAH, providing a deeper understanding of Handel's artistic genius. The book delves into the composer's use of "tone painting" and "word painting," techniques that bring musical gestures to life in response to specific words or phrases. This analysis offers new insights for those unfamiliar with these concepts, while also enhancing the spiritual contemplation experience for those approaching MESSIAH as a medium of worship. By exploring MESSIAH through musicological and theological lenses, this study guide invites readers to ascend to new heights of worship and understanding.
