I’ll start with the short “Hallelujah” Chorus section. We had a great choir at First Presbyterian Church in Houston in the 1990s. It was a Christmas tradition that the Choir would perform “Messiah” . And , at the end , everyone in the packed sanctuary was invited to sign along. In retrospect, we looked forward to like the young child rushing off to the Christmas tree in the wee hours of Christmas morning.

Royal Choral Society: ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ from Handel’s Messiah:

The full “Messiah” composition:

Performed in 2019 – 2 hour plus in length – composed in just 15 days by Handel, a miracle as if to highlight for everyone that it came from the hand of God himself.

And here is the the amazing story behind this composition:

Take note of all the direct scriptural pulled directly into this 2 hour plus production.

Enjoy!

Soli Deo Gloria!
