Handel's Messiah

Handel's "Messiah" is one of the most famous pieces of music in the world. It is incredibly difficult to learn and perform and the music itself has many thematic elements to it. But was is so interesting is that Handel wrote the entire "Messiah" in 24 days. This is absolute insane. Think about if Shakespeare wrote Hamlet in just 24 days that would make the play even more incredible.
