ABO's version of Messiah features Handel's earliest known approach to this work, based on available facsimile manuscripts, and it reconstructs certain musical elements that may have been performed at the work's debut. The Hallelujah, one of the most famous choruses in the history of music, remains almost completely as it was in Handel's first version, except for one note, as sung by the altos an octave lower than usual, on the phrase "and He shall reign."
