Is messiah by Handel an opera?

Handel's Messiah is an Oratorio, which is basically an opera without a stage. The Messiah is one of the few of Handel's Oratorio's without characters, which leads to the confusion expressed by many people (including yourself). The oratorio itself has a colorful place in music history; Handel's turning to the genre occured after the British public lost taste for his operas.


Whats the Music structure of pop genre of music?

Depends on the type of pop, but a very general stereotype would be: in 4/4 timing - so 4 bars of 4 beats. Intro - usually consisting of minimal guitarist and maybe small amount of vocals. Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge - something to distinguish the 2nd chorus from the chorus' that follow, and to build up to the final chorus to give it more of an impact. Final Chorus - usually heavier, with more back up vocals, and louder. The climax of the song more or less, when all bits come together to make the whole. Often repeats until it fades out or has an Outro - similar to intro, but out.
