Manchester by the Sea : It's 'Messiah' not 'The Messiah'

It's 'Messiah' not 'The Messiah'

Re the end credits, the name of Handel's famous oratorio is simply 'Messiah'.

It's a much too common mistake to add the 'The', but music credits people ought to know better.

Pedant... [razz] I sang in The Messiah the other week & I'd call it that. Even though my score I am sure says just "Messiah" too.

Re: It's 'Messiah' not 'The Messiah'

What you call it and what should appear in the end music credits of a feature film are two different things.

It's either cluelessness or laziness. Either is inexcusable in music credits.

Now we know! Thank you credits police! I hope you write to the publishers every time you find a passed-over typo when you're reading a book as well.

That's a scholar. You may be able to sing, hopefully the right notes and words, but some people also care about other aspects of music, such as its history and publishing.

What a pathetic, anal asswipe.
