About this audiobook

In 1750 George Frideric Handel gave musical history’s greatest gift - his Messiah - to an orphanage in London. From that city’s dark lanes comes Thomas, a boy who sings like an angel, but will not speak. Finally, the boy is healed with the help of Maestro Handel, Katarine (from Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery) and the power and glory of music. More than two dozen excerpts of Handel’s music, including the Sarabande in D minor, Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, oratorios, operas and of course, Messiah.
