However, by the time he retired, and largely only through oratorio, he was a multimillionaire.
So his oratorio seasons were very, very profitable.
But it really was an accident, I think.
Well, the music, and I've thought about this a lot, why is the Messiah so different?
And as a performer, I could say, there's no other piece of Handel or any other piece, for that matter, in which I feel like I have such a connection with the audience.
And unlike an opera where a character's feeling an emotion and the audience is passively kind of observing that and maybe sympathetically feeling what I'm feeling...
In this piece, and if I just go through my own bits, I'm questioning the audience.
But who may abide?
If God be for us, who shall be against us?
O death, where is thy sting?
A statement, I know that my Redeemer liveth.
Ask in the audience to do something.
Arise, get thee up into the high mountains.
Lift up thy voice.
The trumpet shall sound.
Predicting, the trumpet shall sound.
Behold, a virgin shall conceive.
So it's very active engagement with the audience that almost demands a response from them.
One almost has the sense the whole universe is there in this piece somehow, without being too hyperbolic.
It has everything.
