Happy Easter - Handel's Messiah "Hallelujah" Sing Along

Happy Easter everyone! Today is a joyous day and what better way than to celebrate with the gifts that we have been blessed with... music! Here is an awesome video of the "Hallelujah" chorus from G.F. Handel's Messiah... complete with the sheet music to follow and sing along!



Handel composed this work in a very short time during the summer of 1741. It is said that when he got to the Hallelujah chorus, Handel was found in tears saying “I did think I saw heaven open, and saw the very face of God."  


Music and singing is the best way we can celebrate and affirm our faiths and beliefs... no matter what they are!! 


HAPPY EASTER!
