Georg Frideric Handel's Messiah (with Soloists, Chorus, and Orchestra)

They're giving an hour long performance this afternoon in a nearby small town and I'm looking forward to attending! It's always difficult not to start belting out in song when I hear this music but I promise to show great restraint in public! And I know the music will be in my head for days to come.

Here's a clip from one of Andre Rieu's concerts:

It was great fun, chonsi! After the concert, the chorus dispersed into the audience aisles and everyone stood up and sang the "Hallelujah" portion with them! The flyer had advertised it as being an hour long performance but it actually took 2 hours with a short intermission. A good time was had by all! :guitarist
