The influence of the "Hallelujah "reached my little Kingdom island in the middle of the south pacific ocean!A small little village,,Holonga Vavau!!When the village first started practicing the Hallelujah my father was born during that time, so they named him after the composer Handel!I grew up didn't find a book about the great composer!I went to NZ i found a book about Handel it touch my life unto this day!!!my middle name is after Handel!!THANKS so much for this video!what a great gift to be more Christlike during this time of contention!!!
Looking forward to attending the anniversary performance of "Messiah" next week in Fishamble Street in Dublin where the world first heard it. We don't have many world firsts in Ireland but I'm proud to say that we have this one! This piece of music "shall live forever and ever!" .... Thank you Mr. Handel!
My husband and I watched this when it first aired, and we were moved to tears. Handel is one of our favorite composers. Beautiful production and a fantastic story!!
At my first time attending a masterclass, many of the others sang Verdi and Mozart, but I sang Handel 😁🎶 I am not a christian, but Handels Messiah is a classical piece that means alot to me. When I describe my own repertoire to other singers, I usually say «My repertoire is wide, everything from Rossini’s Il barbiere , Wagners Tannhauser and to Handels Messiah.
This was produced by BYUtv and aired for several years around Christmas. It became a family tradition for us to watch it. Last year it disappeared and I could not find it anywhere. Thank you for uploading.
When you honor God, God will honor you! No wonder the Messiah is still sung today world wide during Christmas and Easter somewhere! He received more riches because Handel and the performers donated all to redeem other people!
And all the money from the first performance was given to a charity that freed people from the debtors prison! Everyone in the choir donated their money, too! That is why The Messiah has the fame and popularity from the first performance to the current day! God inspired Handle and has blessed Handle and the popularity of The Messiah! Give to God and you will be blessed 🙏❤️
We just performed the Messiah , two performances this past weekend, our first post-Covid concert allowed. We sang wearing masks, ... less than ideal but it worked. You have to drastically exaggerate your vowels but it worked. The audience was reduced, spread out two meters apart so we only sang to a total of around 350 ... roughly 1/3rd of "normal". We had been rehearsing Bach's Mass in B Minor when Covid shut us down. That takes a lot of rehearsal time so we dusted off Messiah. All 80 of us know it. It was wonderful. It was redempted. Chrysalis to butterflies ....
I am so fascinated by Händel, that I often picture, that he is with me in the supermarket. Maybe, I´m half crazy? I allways carry classical music between my ears. Today, it was Michael Praetorius, who delivered a lot of beautiful and jolly music to the court of Christian the fourth of Denmark. I love him. He wrote THE most beautiful christmas carol, we have in Denmark - and we do have a few.
Not sure why there is no reference to the custom of the audience arising to its feet for the singing of the “Hallelujah” chorus which dates back to the occasion when King George IiI first heard this piece performed and arose during the singing of this chorus. Of course his retinue and, indeed, all the audience were obliged to follow suit. This tradition has been passed down through the generations to the present and we still honour that tradition here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Its usually referenced in the concert program notes that all will rise at the singing of the “Hallelujah” chorus.
Standing during the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus is not part of my religion but I'm "religious" about doing so, at least one standing when I was not aware that anyone else was doing so.
I love Handel's Messiah, but It's amazing how many people and families---who have never gone to the symphony before---go to this expecting Stravinsky or something, and they end up restless for 90 minutes because (a) they never expected a vocal performance, and (b) it never occurred to them to follow the lyrics in the program.
Handel loved the Lord! Just to add, Jane means well but the Christian faith is not just 'hope and enlightenment'. It's unapologetically the message that Jesus Christ alone saves from hell, repentance followed by a radical unison back into relationship with God Himself and a change of the person's heart. Hope is the result of repentance and the acceptance of Christ. Messiah wasn't birthed from hard times. But it was written inspite of it, birthed from divine inspiration, straight from Heaven. Not just to bring a little fairy dust. But to show people the way to the cross of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, glory be to the Lamb Who was slain!
Every person has equal opportunity to accept Jesus and become a believer and go to heaven! Can you imagine listening to and even singing this in heaven!!!!!❤❤❤
Perhaps since the betrayal on a federal government level have We the People a masterpiece shall be written our hearts minds souls and take the Lord's strength... virtues his Law and Order. Rendering what is the Lord's.
Why are they using modern instruments for the video when we have so many capable musicians who play on historically accurate instruments? Also, the audiences of the time had a lot more in common with the audiences at popular music concerts than the stayed audiences of today's classical concerts. Some things which went on would never be permitted these days at any concert, including people going up onto the stage and having a closer look at the costumes of the singers, and the set. The gentleman whose daughter Handle took under his wing, Thomas Augustine Arne, was a fine composer in his own right, and the two eventually became good friends. Arne is most famous for two pieces; the closing piece of his masque "Alferd" which concluded with a song which has become one of Britain's most famous patriotic songs, "Rule Britania," and another work which became the United Kingdom's national anthem, "God Save the King". A very good historically informed performance of the work can be heard on RU-vid here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MguZo6_LPq0.html The entire masque of which "Rule Britania" is a part may be heard here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NL1dG9uc_8U.html It is well worth a listen. You can tell that the Music of Arne is moving away from the traditional baroque counterpoint, and into that of the classical period, which would be dominated by the Manheim school, and by the composers Haydn and W. A. Mozart, among others. Some people say that Handel was debilitated by several strokes, but more recently, there has been speculation that he may have been afflicted instead by Multiple Sclerosis. This would fit better with his near total recovery, the brain fog he seemed to encounter from time to time, as well as his frequent incapacitation, and eventual blindness. Though it is possible that his increasing blindness might have been an event completely separate from a stroke, it seems more likely that if there is one disease that more accurately covers all the ailments he faced that it is more likely to have been that disease. Of course since we cannot subject him to the normal tests which are needed to make a definite diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, it seems more logical that if we are going to make assumptions about what his diagnosis might have been, it would be more likely that it was one in which all of his symptoms over time would be covered. In the end, we shall never know for certain. All is speculation.
People in North Eastern part of India looks like Asian in Philippines, Thailand, Korea and Japan 😁 India is a very big country and we all comes in different size and looks.
You can look up for video from Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh etc (North eastern Indian states) and you will see what I mean... Sending you regards from Nagaland 🙏
Oh come on! What a great reconstitution with a German bassoon at 1:57 and 2:01... shame they weren't invented before the 19th century. But at the same time you see a decent looking baroque oboe... That's logical...
