It wouldn't be Christmas without attending a performance of this masterpiece by Handel. We will be going the nearby State college this year to hear them sing! And yes....we will stand! Hallelujah !!

It is one of the most awesome musical compositions indeed. I have the opportunity to sing it as part of several choirs singing together at the Easter Sunrise service at the Hollywood bowl. It is an awesome experience singing together with about 300 voices. Nice Senryu. Thank you for sharing. Caroline.
