More Info:

In 1741, at the age of 56, Handel wrote his masterpiece: Messiah. But he distrusted the London public. He then went to the capital of Ireland, Dublin, and the success was such that the composer later decided to represent it in London too. The oratorio, which was called the greatest musical epic of Christianity, was conducted by Handel himself. The king and the whole court were present. At the last powerful "hallelujah" the sovereign stood up moved to honor the masterful composition. Since that day, which marked the composer's fortune in England, the British public has listened to the last part of the Messiah standing up.
