"El Mesías" de Handel, particularmente el coro "Aleluya", se ha convertido en una banda sonora tradicional para la Semana Santa y la Navidad. Compuesto en un tiempo récord de 24 días en 1741, la obra es conocida por su poderoso contrapunto y crescendos. Se dice que Handel sintió una inspiración divina durante la composición, describiendo una visión celestial al terminar el "Aleluya". La obra, con libreto de Charles Jennens, ha sido considerada insuperable por otros genios musicales y su fama se ha consolidado a lo largo de 285 años. Handel, un compositor alemán que pasó gran parte de su vida en el Reino Unido, compuso "El Mesías" tras sufrir una apoplejía.
