The Handel Society of Jackson was founded and conducted by Professor Brunt in 1990 to bring the Jackson public into closer contact with Baroque music, especially the operatic works of Handel. His repertoire has included Acis and Galatea , Xerxes , Saul , Esther , Julius Caesar , and Apollo and Dafne . Professor Brunt also coordinates the Concert Series at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Jackson. As a form of communication music cannot be equaled. It expresses the deepest of emotions and ideas.
Music exists in both temporal and eternal spheres.
In many ways it transcends even thought itself. The history of music is the history of humankind told using a more abstract language than words. It is a language people have used for centuries as a more personal and intense means of communication. This language has constantly transformed itself through time to various needs involved with human interaction. We are the direct inheritors of musical ideas which have gone before and we are called upon to relearn and reinvent the musical concepts for our own time.
