Händel's musical talent was evident from a young age, and despite his father's initial opposition, he received early musical training and excelled in playing the harpsichord and organ.
In his early 20s, Händel traveled to Hamburg, where he immersed himself in the opera scene. There, he composed his first operas and gained recognition for his talent. Seeking further inspiration and opportunities, Händel journeyed to Italy in 1706, where he studied under renowned composers and absorbed the rich musical traditions of the country. During his time in Italy, he composed numerous operas and sacred music, establishing his reputation as a skilled composer.
In 1710, Händel settled in London, England, where he initially composed Italian operas for the Royal Academy of Music. However, as public taste changed, he transitioned to composing English-language oratorios, which combined elements of opera and sacred music. His oratorio "Esther" in 1718 marked the beginning of his success in this genre.
Händel's fame soared with his composition of the oratorio "Messiah" in 1741. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, "Messiah" eventually became one of the most beloved and frequently performed works in the Western classical repertoire. Händel's oratorios, including "Samson," "Judas Maccabaeus," and "Israel in Egypt," showcased his ability to blend grandeur, emotional depth, and dramatic storytelling.
Beyond oratorios, Händel composed instrumental music, including concertos and orchestral suites. His famous "Water Music" and "Music for the Royal Fireworks" exemplify his skill in crafting joyful and celebratory compositions. Händel's works exhibited a mastery of counterpoint, rich harmonies, and expressive melodies, earning him admiration and patronage from British nobility and royalty.
In his later years, Händel faced financial struggles and health issues, including a gradual loss of vision. However, he continued to compose prolifically, adapting to changing musical trends. Despite setbacks, his final oratorio, "Jephtha," was completed in 1751.
Georg Friedrich Händel passed away on April 14, 1759, leaving behind an immense musical legacy. His compositions played a crucial role in shaping the development of Western classical music, and his influence extended to composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. Händel's music continues to be celebrated for its grandeur, emotional depth, and timeless beauty, ensuring his enduring status as one of the greatest composers in history.

Psalm 22
8. He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
8. גֹּ֣ל אֶל־ יְהוָ֣ה יְפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ יַ֝צִּילֵ֗הוּ כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בּֽוֹ׃
8. 저가 여호와께 의탁하니 구원하실걸, 저를 기뻐하시니 건지실걸 하나이다 To God Alone Be All The Glory. Hallelujah. Amen.

Singing this song with the choir always gives me a chill, like I'm part of the mocking crowd.

Very understandable. The fact that the longest melismas are on the [a] sound of "delight" also contribute to make it sound like laughter. It's a very well-thought-out piece.

dragongirl7978 That’s why Händel was such a master. So often, the music mirrors the words in denotation and connotation - the stretto entries on “let him deliver him” are so evocative of mockery and laughter. Sheer excellence!
Franzl
Amazing fugue, very intense and dramatic. Chorus of mocking laughter. Handel was always very descriptive in his choruses. Music at the service of the text, as a good theater composer.
Daniel Fahimi
One of the most beautiful parts Handel's Messiah.
Geoff Stemen
1:26 The tenors’ mocking laugh is such genius word painting

@Pseunition it so does.

Handel knew very well that people would sing it like that.
