Handel’s Messiah is not just for Christmas. It makes a great daily meditation taken in parts.

The LaSalle Bank in Chicago sponsors a Do-It-Yourself Messiah every Advent. Four top professional soloists and a guest conductor, 80 piece orchestra plus organist and harpsichordist, all for two nights in the Civic Opera Center in Chicago. The bank pays the whole bill and gives the tickets away (about 3500 each night) to whoever wants to show up. The audience brings scores and sings their hearts out. It really makes Christmas for me.

Love Messiah. It also lines up quite well with the Mass readings of the Mary Christ Mass.

But you are right for pointing out that it is also an excellent piece for Easter as well.

Thank you for this post.

Thank you, HH. I’m sure there are troops who will enjoy this. I wrote to a LT. stationed in Iraq for a year and a half and he requested classical music which I sent in every package.

“And He shall reign Forever and Ever. Hallelujah! Hallelujah”

Thanks for this wonderful post, Hawk. I love The Messiah, but the choirs in which I have participated have generally performed only the Advent portion. I wonder if the Freepers know that this marvelous oratorio was written in only 24 days which is just amazing to me. Most of its beautiful words are taken directly from the Bible.

“Worthy is the Lamb”, with its Great Amen, is one of my all time favorite pieces of choral music! It is a BEAR to sing, I can tell you, but glorious, nonetheless.

Almost a week late, but I'm still catching up...

Thanks, HH, for the wonderful Easter presentation of Handel's Messiah.
