About This Song

About "Handel: Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 2, Scene 6: Aria. "Why Do the Nations"" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge

A bass aria of turbulent majesty, the nations rage in vain. Handel paints chaos with restless string figures and a vocal line that storms and sighs, capturing the futile fury of earthly powers against divine order.
