Handel

Got to stand for the Messiah Hallelujah Chorus this evening.

It was performed by our local orchestra and chorale.

I think it's a great tradition.

Perhaps you could play the Hallelujah Chorus on the steel.
Please visit my web site and Soundcloud page and listen to the music posted there.

We got to stand for the Chorus again this week.

Here is a video of an orchestra and chorale performing the piece. You can see the members of the audience rise as the chorus begins. The orchestra and chorale look very similar to our local groups.
