[@IsaacRabinovitch]

The best part is where people who are obviously not part of the performance stand up and join in.

[@Happybidr]

Mr. Rabinovitch is talking about the people who stood up but who were not singing, and I saw a number of them. Since I know this piece extremely well, and can remember it almost as well now as I did when I first sang it 49 years ago (OMG, can’t believe it was that long), let me note that the reason that their standing is important is that standing is what is traditionally done by the audience when hearing The Hallelujah Chorus. The first time it was performed for the king of England, he stood (some think he was “moved” but the king himself never said and rarely did kings show emotion publicly), and of course everyone joined him. (This chorus is the final song. In Handel’s “Messiah”). Since then it is done traditionally the same, with all the audience standing and listening quietly.

I have viewed this so many times, it gives me the chills. To think Handel threw the Messiah together in 2 weeks.

[@katherinewolfe]

That's what happens sometimes when you're divinely inspired. 🙂

[@falconbritt5461]

I read that certain music is composed in the higher levels (in the astral planes of existence, at a higher dimensional frequency zone of reality. In the higher realms of the astral are the various versions of heaven, for example, although there are lower regions with lower vibes definitely not angelic!). Then these special songs are vibrationally/intuitively "downloaded" through musicians who can assume the correct wavelength to pick up that signal. Not all music, not even a majority, is necessarily composed higher up then sent down, but such music arrives as if fully written to the musician, who just needs to write it out as they hear it in their head. My famous composer friend has explained the difference; she said that kind of song just arrives and flows through the guitar and words onto paper complete, as is, words and tune and harmonies and chords as if already written and just downloaded in a single sitting; while other songs are composed here laboriously, slaving over the lyrics and chord progressions that are best... those can take as long as years before they come to completion. But since she isn't writing multi-part choral music, it could take two weeks to "channel" something like this and get it all just as heard in the head - especially since Handel didn't have any recording equipment. 🙂

[@Tryagain563]

I believe it is God inspired - taken by Handel, fresh from being in His Holy, awesome Presence.

Every now and then I head back here just so I can raise my hands in joy as our Messiah Himself is worshipped so magnificently by the amazing talent, and to see the joy in the faces of their unsuspecting audience. Reminds me of the angels turning up to the shepherds tending the sheep announcing His arrival with praise and worship.

[@janicevasey4038]

Some years ago I was in a large choir and our conductor who we had had for over twenty five years died. There was a memorial service held for him and as the family left the church the organist (who was the choir’s organist) started playing the Hallelujah chorus and people all over the church sang their parts from where they were. Totally spontaneously. It was so special.

[@fury1185]

This was my mamas favorite Christmas video. We probably watched it a thousand times over a span of 8 years. She loved it!. She would allow herself the tiniest prideful smile when she'd turn her friends or anyone visiting on to it. At 92 she felt so cool knowing what You-tube, a Flashmob, to 'cast' a program and the term 'going viral' meant. When I watch this now I can still feel her hand held tightly in mine while we watched just like the mamas and their children watching it the first time. Somehow the beauty of the moment always made her hand find mine. Sometimes our hands found my son's and we would stop all the business of the season and form a chain as we listened. Such a precious gift. You were cool mama. you were the coolest ever and I miss you with every breath. Thankyou to those people who made this ten short years ago. I hope you have some idea of the Joy your efforts brought to the world. A Blessed New Year to Everyone.

[@saundrajohnson1571]

@@lynerobinson7809 I'm so sorry for your loss, Lyne. Yes, I'm sure she is. 🙂 Metastasized breast cancer took my mom from me years before her time. Christmas was our favorite time of the year, both together and individually. My mom introduced me to Handel's Messiah by way of a live performance when I was quite young. In an effort to not be so depressed at Christmas since her passing, I have made it a tradition to play the entire Messiah first thing every Christmas morning. I don't think it's possible to stay depressed after listening to The Halleluia Chorus. Not only that, but about 15 years ago, I discovered that I had learned the lyrics to the entire Messiah by heart (I have learned music by ear since the ripe old age of six). Anytime I get the opportunity to perform the Messiah, or merely the finale itself, I jump at the chance. I do, and will always think of my mother when I hear it. I wish you the same blessing. 🙏🏻

I'm not a Christian, and yet this never gets old. The first flash mob I saw on KZbin, and still the best. The look of amazement of the kids faces (especially the one with the Gap shirt) and the smiles of the food court diners are new every year, even though this video is ten years old. And, on top of everything else, these are talent vocalists, even if not specifically professionals.

[@melanieprestwich3307]

There was a time when I wasn't a Christian. Now I understand that what we see and feel while watching this video is just a tiny sampling of what we'll experience the day He returns with concourses of angels praising God and singing. As Handel repeated in another number from "The Messiah", "... and all flesh shall see it together."

Please don't ever take down this video, it's a wonderful experience even on video! I've often wondered how many singers were involved, and what church or choral group they belong to at the time. The music is difficult to sing, but their harmonies are perfect, and the joy on the faces of the singers, as well as the public enjoying the music, are guaranteed to make you smile when you listen to this flash mob! Uplifting, and inspiring, I return to this version of Handel's masterpiece every Easter and Christmas to share it online with friends. I come to watch it the rest of the year just to be renewed with praise to Jesus, The King of Kings, Lord of Lords!

I get that. I have this weird quirk where I get weepy seeing live performances. There’s something about seeing a group of people performing as one with skill and precision that hits me right in the gut. There’s just something about things coming together in perfect harmony that moves me. I’ve been known to tear up watching brass bands. It’s kind of embarrassing...

[@deewesthill4705]

@@BeeWhistler That is exactly the case with me! Any time I get the privilege of attending "The Nutcracker", i need to take a box of tissues along because the beauty and magic of it is so overwhelming it moves me to nonstop tears throughout the show, and my sinus problem only makes it worse. Tschaikovsky's works always do that to me as well as Handel and others. A few days ago waiting in line at a supermarket, suddenly the intercom was playing the glorious "Waltz of the Flowers" from that show. I had no tissues with me and had trouble fighting back the tears.

[@pw.70]

@Joyce Woodruff - Kings 2:23-24. Mark 4:19 - I see why I'm not allowed freedom of speech... But anyway, I'm no 'devil' as you like to put it; to me there's no such thing, I'm simply a person who chooses not to believe in something that there are no undiminished facts about. I'll give you that your 'god' could, on the very outsides of possibility, be an alien of some description, but other than that... Nope. But as for the Bible, as I said, it's actually a man made construct, a thing of control, devised by men (and yes, I do mean males, at this point, especially as pagan women held a lot of power in those days; what better way to grasp power back than to demonise them?), to control people. There's lots of historical facts about this, and, in my eyes, you're quite welcome to your belief, but I'm also entitled to mine, and I believe in people having mutual respect for what they can achieve and the good they can do for each other and the planet we live on. I've read about and witnessed many wars and atrocities being started in the name of religion or greed (particularly the 'my god's bigger than your god' principal), but not one, yet, from mutual respect... You can go on the offensive with your dogma, if you like, but I would welcome your debate in its place. I'll understand if you don't.
