Rights and use

George Frideric Handel died in 1759, so the composition is in the public domain in the US and in the countries that protect a work for its author’s life plus 70 years. The edition this recording plays (PDMX) is released under CC0, so the notes carry no conditions either. Open it in Score Studio to time it to your video: the render you make there is yours to use, in an ad too (Terms §6.3).

About the piece

Handel wrote Messiah in London in the late summer of 1741, in a little over three weeks; it was first performed in Dublin in April 1742. The Hallelujah chorus closes its second part.

It is the sound of a big reveal: the doors open, the lights come on, the sale starts.

Sounds triumphant, jubilant, grand · Cuts well to big reveals, launch moments, comedic overstatement
