   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.
