The total of 24 songs are in English, but all connecting texts are in Dutch. The entire work THE MESSIAH lasts, including a break, two and a half hours. It is possible to shorten the work, for example by omitting acts or songs. For example, Acts 10 and 11 are very suitable to highlight around Easter. All 28 songs can also be sung separately.

In order to make it feasible for as many choirs as possible, the set-up (mise-en-scene, staging and clothing) has been kept simple. The soloist playing Jesus wears white clothing. The choir and the other soloists are advised to wear black clothing. The musical has been specially arranged for polyphonic choirs (SATB with soloists) with band (drums, bass, guitar and keys).
