Handel Masterpiece Gets 'Explicit' Label
Thu Sep 18, 5:52 PM ET
By MATTHEW FORDAHL, AP Technology Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. - George Frideric Handel has at least one thing
in common with Eminem and other modern artists: his music has
been slapped with an "explicit" warning at Apple Computer Inc.'s
online iTunes Music Store.
The baroque composer's 1742 masterpiece, "The Messiah," is marked
with the red warning that indicates the content might not be
appropriate for young children or others with sensitive tastes.
It's on a recording by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted
by John Alldis.
The warning, which appeared when the album's tracks were made
available Tuesday, is most likely a technical mix-up, though
"The Messiah" does touch on love, violence and death - in a more
profound way than, say, most music produced 260 years later.
