Zadoc the priest....

G.F Handel was a German-born, British Baroque composer who spent the bulk of his career in London, becoming well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Born in a family indifferent to music, Handel received critical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London (1712), and became a naturalized British subject in 1727.
Handel is regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era.
But we do listen him on some Wednesday and Thursday. This piece that we listen is his work called Zadoc the priest.

What is his special work that I am talking about?
