The story behind the composing of this is fascinating. Handel fasted and stayed awake during the 21 days it took him to compose the entire thing, had a vision of God on His throne while composing this portion.

[@elliotportner8020]

One thing that the Mormons did was to understand the need for high quality choir and orchestra because it touches and bangs us n the soul for Gods revelation and spirit n our hearts

[@willibergen7058]

That’s one thing that the church I attend doesn’t understand. Nobody wants to put an effort into singing.

[@DaveWestGuitar]

I’m Catholic and I’m here for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir because they just do the music justice like no other choir I’ve heard. Magnificent. Just beyond words.

[@janelahmeyer2014]

God bless you for such very true insight

[@alicelenehunter7220]

I grew singing this in high school. I simply love it! When I regained consciousness after a major medical. My son was playing this at my medside to prove to"medical professionals that's I was responsive and lucid. They wanted to give up on me. But hmy son knew what to do to interest me to wake up. Hallelujah!!

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

I sang this with about 1500 other high school students in Germany, in 1974. Every school in the country sent one student to a massive festival, and I was honored to be part of it, as the representative from the US Air Force headquarters high school from Wiesbaden. First and only time in my life I have broken a sweat singing my guts out.

[@cyndidickson4908]

I would've love to have heard that. Is there a recording of it anywhere?

[@jr6200]

Ha. That's so cool

[@dominiquemanariyo9273]

I too used to sing it in 2014 being a pupil in high school❤. Hello from Burundi, thé beautiful country in Africa!

[@crazydaisyj]

It’s such a fun song to sing once the part is learned!

[@bradbackauthor9940]

If it was the song that caused the king to STAND it must be good

[@thatsjustmytake]

Every time the women sing KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS and their pitch gets higher and higher, always touches my soul in ways I can't explain. Simply angelic.

[@robw9435]

That part always makes the hair on my back and arms stand up.

[@alohaoe06]

My sentiments exactly!

[@MLMLW]

I used to could sing that high soprano but as I've gotten older I'm now more of an alto as my voice has gotten lower.

[@scott-robertshenkman4130]

I completely agree. At that point, I feel like heaven and earth touch, and that's where I get a glimpse of heaven. I think Jesus had his hand on Handel's should when he wrote the whole Oratorio.

[@AK-jt7kh]

I’m agnostic for most of the time in life, but these 4 minutes make me want to pray to the heavens! Just a beautiful choir of talented, beautiful people that makes you think the best of humanity. Thanks for bringing this to us all.

[@scott-robertshenkman4130]

This. Favorite piece of music ever written. Whenever i hear it, i feel Christ in me. I love pop and rock, but it just doesn't have the same effect.

[@joannethibault6016]

This was my dad's favorite hymn partly because he learned to play the organ in Holland in early 1940 at 13 yrs. old. The same organ Mozart and Mendellson trained on.

A serious choir and orchestra Fabulous (From an old choir boy from St Thomas nyc)

[@musicaldooder20]

Handel must have been inspired by God when he wrote Messiah. Because when you listen to it, all of the songs, especially this Hallelujah Chorus, just feel like the kind of songs the hosts of heaven would sing when they raise their voices to praise their Lord and Redeemer.

[@nathanmukubwa7408]

Best choir on the planet. And I'm an atheist. It is truly to awesome to experience this in the tabernacle, which I have. What an amazing space of pure acoustic bliss. My music and choir teacher in high school was a soprano member and her voice was so beautiful and powerful. She was a wonderful woman and music teacher.

soon the whole world will sing this and bow down to the Lord Messiah.

[@1bicycleddie]

In a 65 person Church Choir, my first such experience, we were blessed to learn this from our Pastoral Minister, JM ..he put us through the paces for 4 months to sing this at Christmas Eve Mass 2018. I had never been aware of this song. After the Choir sang this, ( I was in as a Bass 1 ) for our congregation, I, we, many seniors, kindda fell back on the bench seats in the Choir Loft, just winded and near tears that we pulled it off. The Choir Pastoral Minister bid us to stand, from below in the Church, 300 fellow parishioners applauded. I looked at my feet in humility. We had put in 4 hrs a week for 4 months, I could feel Heaven and the smile of Jesus and my deceased family. Now, if I listen to Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing this, I cry. God prevailed. Covid flees, Maybe soon we sing in Choir again.

[@eloradivina6333]

I have never heard such a high quality level . This is a miracle of perfection. I am not a mormon but I bless you all for this gift.

I generally have a dim view of humanity, but to think that a man could compose this wonderful tribute to the King of Kings raises it a little in my view. Holy Spirit inspired no doubt.

[@dennissvitak6453]

I sang this with about 1500 other singers in a massive hall at the state hall in the German state of Hesse. I think it was the Kurhaus. First and only time in my life I broke into a hard sweat singing a song. It was ... stunning.

[@byufan]

I can only imagine how glorious it shall be when the Lord shall return and a song like unto this shall be played for the King of Kings

[@legaleagle46]

The lyrics are, in fact, taken from the 15th chapter of Revelation, if I'm not mistaken..

[@byufan]

That is correct, Lee.

[@hookemlars]

Actually Bryce and Lee, it's from Isaiah 9:6, word for word. It's beautiful!

[@legaleagle46]

Lars Smith Nope. You're thinking of "For unto Us a Child Is Born." That's a different piece from Handel's "Messiah." The lyrics to the "Hallelujah Chorus" aer taken from Revelation 11:15, Revelation 19:6, and Revelation 19:16. So I was crediting the wrong chapter, but the right book.

[@hookemlars]

My apologies. I was mistaken. It is from Revelations. I was thinking of For Unto Us A Child Is Born.

[@FredPickett]

One of The Worlds best Chiors.

[@nemochicky4697]

I may be Lutheran, but this choir and orchestra performs this song beautifully

[@nuschlerclark895]

When I was in pre-med at the University of Utah, I also had a job at a hotel across from Temple Square…which has the “Tab” choir. Thursday mornings were full practice. So I would sit and listen….”Ordinary looking” folks would walk in, chatting and laughing. Then with one voice and the powerful pipe organ, music and voices would join as one. The Tabernacle built 150 years ago with perfect acoustics. If you ever go West, go to Temple Square, learn about the journey with handcarts through the plains and mountains, architecture of the city. Salt Lake City is a beautiful city.

[@winstonuy9592]

Probably the most heavenly and uplifting chorale ever composed. If all liturgical music sound as good as Hallelujah, then attendances in houses of worship would never decline. Kudos to the late, great German-born composer, G.F. Handel, Hallelujah!

My old High School Choir preformed this magnificent piece 2ys in a row for our Christmas Concert and I was a Soprano. I will have to say I have never in my life worked as hard as I did for any piece before than I worked for this piece. This was BY FAR my favorite musical performance I have participated in; in all my years of Choir. The next week the school played it over the speaker system and everyone thought it was a professional choir, as did I. I hadn't realize we were being recorded and didn't even come to the though that the angelic voice I was hearing was my own High School choir! This piece will always hole a special place in my heart.

[@ashleygwynn516]

My high school choral group also sings this each year at Christmas; it's a tradition more than 40 years old. I, too, had the privilege of singing Soprano on this wonderful piece... Even during the dark days of high school, my heart and soul was lifted when I sang this song ... it was like a piece of Heaven.

[@ansbertanthony1951]

This is the best alleluia I ever heard honestly 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 love you all keep up the spirit

[@GailColeman]

Just a stunning performance! When I was in high school, our choir's tradition for years( and to this day, I believe) was that the final song of our Christmas concert was this one. But not only the choir sang, anyone from the audience was invited to come forward around the stage and help perform it. We had a small town high school, about 400 kids total. So, many people from town, not just parents, would fill the whole front of the auditorium. A choir of about 40 or 50 kids became an instant, multi-generational, community celebration of Christmas! It is one of my best high school memories! We rocked the place!

[@roxannesmith9219]

Yes ours did this as well. All 4 of the choirs/choruses, the whole symphony & band would play & I remember everyone even the whole audience singing along. It's such a powerful masterpiece that brings so much joy to everyone in the building & to this day whenever I hear it I get tears & goosebumps & my heart is filled with the Holy Spirit I can just imagine the angels in heaven rejoicing when they hear everyone singing it!!
