“You and me BOTH, bro...”

Dyslexia running rampant in FR these days, it seems.

Anyone who has even a remote exposure to Classical Music should be well aware of “Handel’s Messiah” as well as other great works such as “Ode to Joy” etc. Much of the great classical work was inspired and dedicated to Christianity.

If not, then they probably should get some exposure. Without a doubt the greatest musical works of Humanity are Classical works. They are without question the summit of what man can do musically.
