Handel's #Messiah is an English-language #oratorio composed by George Frideric #Handel in 1741, structured in three parts.

The link should take you to part 3, scene 1, called "I know that my Redeemer liveth." Performed in 2019 by the #Sydney Philharmonic #Choir, courtesy of #ABC. If not, it begins at 2:01:52.

If like me you're not #religious, don't let that aspect put you off. You can consider the subject matter as #mythological or #fictional, but still be able to appreciate the #beauty of the composition & its execution.

Show me the Asian, African or Afroasiatic equivalent to #Beethoven or #Mozart. No such non-Indo-European equivalent exists.

Then of course there's Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Alexander, Gustavus Adolphus, Michelangelo, De Vinci, Newton, Monet, van Gogh, James Watt, Adam Smith, Nikolaus Otto, von Braun, Babbage, Jack Kilby, Chaucer, Dante & Tolstoy to name a few.

Philosophy, statecraft, military strategy, engineering, science, mathematics, music, art, literature. All that's needed is cultural #confidence; people-group self-belief.
