My dad would listen to Handel's Messiah every year at Christmas. ...This Christmas, I don't have him. I am listening to this because I miss him. He served as a pastor for at least the 39 years of my life and, while fighting pancreatic cancer, he was diagnosed with 6 months and lived 3 years instead. Every visit to the VA and the doctors and the MRI and the surgery and the chemo... he used any strength he had to ask everyone, "Do you know Jesus? How is your relationship with Jesus?" He reached out to nurses, orderlies, staff... even as he had to use a rollator to get around, he still had my mom take him to Market Square and he would sit and share the Word of God with whatever strength he had right until the end. God, make me as bold. May God bring you peace in this difficult time. Know He is there. He has not forsaken you. We just must be still and quiet enough to hear Him. He is there to comfort like nothing you have ever known. Sometimes we have to get rid of distractions in our lives so we can hear Him.

Perhaps the most magnificent comment I have ever read - having read thousands. I served with my 97 year old father on the Midway today encouraging visitors who cared to stop to Talk with a WWII Veteran Today that the Lord has this whole apparently crazy mess - and, yes, He has it with crazy Joy, nearly unspeakable except as in your father's case, with severe mercy and joy. Merry Christmas. Shalu Shalom, Yerushalaim. Can't wait to meet him with Him!

The best modern performance of this work. I started singing Messiah in 1965 as a senior in high school as the soprano soloist. I continued on to sing in the concert choir at ASU in the later 60's. What a JOY to sing this wonderful work. Interestingly I knew who Jesus was through this music, but did not commit my life to HIM until 1983. I sang the Messiah every year with some group as I grew into maturity either as a soloist or in the choir. I know now at 76 He had been calling me through the music because I was not hearing any other way at the time. I still have the same score from high school which I cherish with all the markings over the years. I love to sing along even though my soprano voice has lost its height and flexibility but I can hear my voice as I sing along having memorized it all. What a JOY in my life to have this in my heart. Jesus is The Reason for The Season.

”“Comfort and keep comforting my people,” says your God. “Tell Yerushalayim to take heart; proclaim to her that she has completed her time of service, that her guilt has been paid off, that she has received at the hand of Adonai double for all her sins.” A voice cries out: “Clear a road through the desert for Adonai! Level a highway in the ‘Aravah for our God! Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill lowered, the bumpy places made level and the crags become a plain. Then the glory of Adonai will be revealed; all humankind together will see it, for the mouth of Adonai has spoken.” A voice says, “Proclaim!” And I answer, “What should I proclaim?” “All humanity is merely grass, all its kindness like wildflowers: the grass dries up, the flower fades, when a wind from Adonai blows on it. Surely the people are grass! The grass dries up, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.” You who bring good news to Tziyon, get yourself up on a high mountain; you who bring good news to Yerushalayim, cry out at the top of your voice! Don’t be afraid to shout out loud! Say to the cities of Y’hudah, “Here is your God! Here comes Adonai Elohim with power, and his arm will rule for him. Look! His reward is with him, and his recompense is before him. He is like a shepherd feeding his flock, gathering his lambs with his arm, carrying them against his chest, gently leading the mother sheep.” Who has counted the handfuls of water in the sea, measured off the sky with a ruler, gauged how much dust there is on the earth, weighed the mountains on scales, or the hills in a balance? Who has measured the Spirit of Adonai? Who has been his counselor, instructing him?“ Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 40:1-13 CJB bible.com/bible/1275/isa.40.1-13.CJB

In the concert you can see a tomb in the audience, which is a rare Papal tomb not in the Vatican, of Clement VI. Also note the mediaeval mural going round the wall near the altar showing a Danse Macarbe.

Now that’s it’s being played more often on replicated period instruments (gut strings, etc) and period-sized orchestras, as this version is - as it was originally performed, and meant to be performed - it is less ponderous than when played by a modern, 80-piece orchestra. Thus, it’s a “low-fat, no-fat” version: de-light-ful!

"Fantastic performance," a hackneyed phrase to be sure but it took just a few minutes of listening to this performance to realize that something very special was occurring on that platform. I have loved Handel's Messiah for nearly all of my 70+ years but have never been so moved, so enthralled, so aware of the many nuances and subtle interplays of this magnificent work until tonight. My heavens how could the audience remain in their seats after so powerful a rendition of what is unarguably the greatest oratorio ever written.

It is very good indeed. I have seen live performances of the full oratorio that exceed even this in sections and there may not be recordings of them. Also in reviewing recently some others such as conductor Trevor Pinnock and Gardner ( versions are available on YT ) that both have merit and some excellent sections, it is clear to me that The Word of YHWH is truly living and active, sharp and powerful. This allows for newness and annointing in this timeless music that exceeds our understanding. The Word is truly forever and ever. This is an awesome and mysterious component of God, so that I no longer believe that there is any single version of The Messiah that is supreme. We will have our favorite (s), but clearly Father will be exalted in each performance of Messiah. There are many versions that I certainly do not care for, but I am likely not right in how I perceive these. His Word will accomplish that which is intended. The intent of the listener is varied and is of great importance in receiving these heavenly sounds. May you be richly blessed, even and especially in those times of bitter waters, trials and testings. Bryan
