His publications include Lutheranism, Anti-Judaism, and Bach's St. John Passion and articles in Musical Quarterly, Harvard Theological Review, and the New York Times. Klappentext Every Easter, audiences across the globe thrill to performances of Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus", but they would probably be appalled to learn the full extent of the oratorio's anti-Judaic message. The author examines Handel's work and uncovers a disturbing message of anti-Judaism buried within its joyous celebration of the divinity of the Christ. Zusammenfassung An eye-opening reexamination of Handel's beloved religious oratorio
