RE: Taking a Step into the World of Baroque Music: An informal analysis of “Surely He hath borne our griefs” chorus from Handel’s Messiah
I'm glad it made you have interest in the Baroque period. For me, Handel is an interesting composer who managed to create a beautiful oratorio that's not in his original language (he was German after all). He's an interesting character.
To be honest, of all the musical epochs my favorite in the Romantic, because it's there where musicians began to have their independence from their patrons plus the historical happenings at that time were really exciting. But each musical period has its own charm and allure, its own stories and compositions.
The differences of each period from one to another makes them all really interesting and unique!
