In case you’ve just joined us, we’re doing a series of Christmas cards, matching Pete’s photography with favorite music. Probably the most universally beloved is the masterwork, Handel’s Messiah, the story behind which is as fascinating as its performances are enthralling.
This photo was taken east of Denali, from a vantage point that could convince almost anyone to take joyous flight, just as Handel’s notes paint the Biblical text into a magnificent landscape. We can imagine Handel’s angelic aria wafting over the landscape while the skies churn and the miraculous transformations in the prophecy take hold. We’ve embedded a recording so you may listen while you gaze.
Merry Christmas!
