Handel's Messiah
I keep so busy making amateur anybody-can-participate music and art that I seldom find time to consume great art done by highly trained people. This evening friends arm-twisted me into going to hear Handel's Messiah at Emory University. As soon as I saw the splendid organ, my fingers itched for the sketchbook in my purse. Sometimes you can both appreciate art and make art at the same time.
The chorus and orchestra were wider than what is shown here, but I ran out of both paper and patience. This was Messiah as orchestrated by Mozart for more instruments than were used during Handel's lifetime. (So we learned from the program notes.)
A little ironic that the instrument that dominates my sketch is the one instrument in the hall that wasn't used during the performance.
