What did handel do that no one else did?

George Frideric Handel was unique in his ability to successfully blend different musical styles, particularly Opera and oratorio, creating a distinctive sound that resonated with audiences. He was also a pioneer in the commercialization of music, effectively promoting his works through public performances and subscription concerts. Moreover, his oratoriOS, especially "Messiah," broke traditional norms by focusing on religious themes without being tied to specific liturgical settings, making them accessible to a broader audience.
