Handel was a great recycler, using his own previously compositions for the various arias, choruses, and solos, for the music in the Messiah. "For Unto Us a Child is born, is note for note, taken from the duet "No, Di Voi Non Vo' Fidarmi" in his Cantata XVI.

If the US President is into Bach, Handel and Monteverdi, does that make him Baroque Obama?

Why is this sung in a different key than what is printed?

What a beautiful piece. So mesmerizing. The way Handel arranged it is brilliant, not it is beyond brilliant. It's something greater than talent. What a wonderful composer Handel was. Just no words sufficient to express how great this piece sounds.

The printed rhythm here is editorial. Handel's autograph manuscript contains the sung rhythm in bars 62 and 64. Various editors have seen fit to "correct" Handel, since at other points he wrote the rhythm as you describe. People don't seem to believe Handel was able to introduce rhythmic diversity into his works and that when he does so it must be a mistake!
