@ModernOrthodoxy That's quite a statement. Handel borrowed the material from a few of his previous works, but the vast majority of Messiah was newly composed. The only movements that were 'borrowed' were "And He Shall Purify," "For Unto Us A Child Is Born," "His Yoke Is Easy," and "O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?" Everything else was newly composed.

Messiah is nothing but borrowing from previous works he had created. Check out "No, di vol non vo 'fidarmi", I bet you will recognize it as well. This is why he was able to write Messiah in 24 days.

barroque composers did that all the time......

Handel apparently wrote this beforehand and later reworked them for the Messiah...

And the second part is the same tune as "And he shall purify" - Ingenius Handel :)

Wow! Interesting duet. Pretty much the same tune from the chorus "His Yoke is Easy" from Handel's Messiah. Lovely duet though :)
