Especially the Halleluah chorus...the history of how it was finished and performed surpasses others...it was performed for the benefit of sick people, one famous classical music composer said this after listening to the Hallelujah chorus, "He is the master of us all." just thoughts from an aspiring conductor...

Though I would not argue with these sentiments I think Handel even bettered this with Theodora, his second-but-last. He was especially proud of this work, calling it his favourite. Also Saul, Isreal in Egypt, Solomon, Jephtha, Judas Maccabaeus are all superb, I could go on...
