Part 2 of my continuing attempt to get more into Christmas. Today's selection is from George Frideric Handel's Messiah, Part II, the Hallelujah Chorus. One of my goals in life is to hear this from a full orchestra and choir. Turn up the volume and enjoy.
The first selection is on a massive pipe organ, which I love to listen to in person. Not only do you hear the pipes, but you feel their vibrations, making it a multi-sensory experience. This organ is at Coventry Cathedral, which was destroyed in World War II by the German Luftwaffe.
Here is a "flash mob" in a mall food court last year. Too cool...
Possibly the most unique, and most well coordinated deliveries I've ever seen
And the quintessential rendition...
