Handel stunned audiences with his rousing Hallelujah chorus. And that continues through today. Whenever I get lost in the pettiness of the day I listen to this and it brings me back to center, to what really matters in life. King of Kings, Lord of Lords

[OrlandoAponte]

This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

WOW. The best rendition of this masterpiece ever. No, seriously, when I heard the first strains of this music, I was working on another tab, and I thought "aah another version Hallelujah lets skip it, but thank God I waited a bit longer and was blown away. Kudos to the Choir and the Orchestra, their great.

Can't wait to sing this with the angels in heaven.

Please, parents: expose your children to this beautiful music. Yes, the entire Messiah is not a short piece of music. However, the rewards of listenting to the music and to the words is inspiring. Don't underestimate your children. Let them listen to this inspired work, either piece by piece or the entire Oratorio. It will change their lives, and yours.
