Arr. Wil Van Der Beek. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. It is interesting to recall that Handel wrote Messiah, his most famous work whilst at the lowest point of his career, suffereing from fianantial hardship and depression. It was only composing that distracted him from this misery. In He Shall Feed His Flock, based on texts of Isaiah and Matthew, we hear praise for the peace that the Messiah has brought to earth. / Niveau : 2 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
