' sharing-funds until after next February. . .'•'•'• Mrs. Gilbert suggested that in the interim the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>- make recommendations to the commissioners expressing ideas for projects "Which would be most beneficial to the community as a whole." <strong>The</strong> city is in line to receive approximately $250,000 in revenue sharing money at the end <strong>of</strong> this year. Messiah continued from page one __:iir-JBnice_Fjfcr__ : i - a paralytic stroke which handicapped him for the rest <strong>of</strong> his life. <strong>On</strong>e evening the composer noticed a package left on his dnk by his librettist, Charles Jtfnnens. It contained a "Compilation <strong>of</strong> Biblical texts which he called Messiah and Jenncns - hoped Handel could set .music to the words. Handel read and when he came_across_2.'I know that my redeemer liveth and, that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though...worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God" he suddenly felt melodies and harmonies <strong>of</strong> the arias and' choruses overflowing. Day after day music flowed from Handel's spirit. He slept only in spurts and ate scarcely. <strong>On</strong> September 14, just 21 days after he found the texts, he completed his oratorio and signed it. He was so mentally and bodily, fatigued he went to bed and slept for 17 hours. That fall Handel received an invitation to visit Dublin, Ireland, and present some <strong>of</strong> his music. He took with him. the Messiah and his own soloists however, the oratorio was not given until the end <strong>of</strong> the season. When it finally was given the pr<strong>of</strong>its <strong>of</strong> more than $2,000 went to the relief <strong>of</strong> men who had been imprisoned for debt as Handel promised. He returned to England and after a year he tried to present his oratorio. <strong>On</strong>e thing after another went against him even including clergymen who condemned the blasphemy <strong>of</strong> using the word Messiah on a playbill. Three performances were given in 1743 and all three were financial failures..' He tried several more times with the same result. Handel loved children and had been a governor <strong>of</strong> London's Foundling Hospital. Rich sponsors had donated money for a chapel so Handel contributed an organ and <strong>of</strong>fered to dedicate it with a performance <strong>of</strong> his Sacred Oratorio. <strong>The</strong> day <strong>of</strong> the concert the chapel was crowded and in the dignity and solemnity <strong>of</strong> the place the oratorio made such a pr<strong>of</strong>ound spiritual impression * the composer was invited to give another presentation. Eventually it was given in Westminster Abbey with a full orchestra and a 500-voice choir. As long as he lived Handel conducted the work at least once a year for the hospital. He died in 1759 but the Messiah has continued to be a favorite musical work. .
