The Light of the World (1873) Background First Performed at the Birmingham Festival, August 1873 In its time "The Light of the World" shone forth proudly enough. Sullivan was commissioned by the Birmingham Festival to provide a full-length oratorio, duly premiered in 1873 and rapidly taken up by large choral societies around the country. The young lion's ambition was evident in his choice of subject and texts - his contemplative two-part life of Christ, with words drawn wholly from the Bible, clearly laid down a gauntlet to Handel's "Messiah". His choice of a baritone Jesus would have had Bachian resonance. His musical style, full of highly respectable choral hymns and fugues, comfortable harmonies and soothing solos, may be best described as mechanised Mendelssohn.
