Hmmmm...one hit wonder? From WikiPedia: "Handel's compositions include forty two operas, twenty nine oratorios, more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets (together about 2.000 arias), chamber music, a large number of ecumenical pieces, odes and serenatas and sixteen organ concerti." In addition to his Messiah, which I suspect is the "one hit" to which you refer, his Water Music and Opera, Serse, are quite well known and appreciated.
