Musica meravigliosa ❤

With the late James Bowman, fond memories hearing him singing Handel many time in the Wigmore hall.

What Can I say? Just beautiful music all around. This is how some of our churches used to sound on Sunday morning. And I think our services were the better for it. All the best to the 16 Harry Christophers. Bravo

[@Clinton-p7z]

There is no doubt that Handel is an absolute classical music genius. I absolutely love his music.

[@valtergilenardi2639]

I follow Handel since 1992 😊❤ Class 1968

[@joseagustincandanedo2998]

I have always wondered why these anthems are not better known! Such wonderful pieces of music.

[@vivienalcantara1187]

Praise the Lord our beloved Father! Glory to you my Dear God!

[@edyjo3025]

[@damienbaken2328]

Amen. From Everlasting to Everlasting, Give Him thanks and praise and all creation bless God. Amen.

[@damienbaken3564]

Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name.

[@vargelisgeorge5384]

Handel is praising the Holy God Hallelujah

[@JyotiB70045]

I just hear one after another, so much soothing and wonderful music as Handel is one of my favourite composers.

The first choir is based on the tune used in the anglican hymn O God, our help in ages past.

[@edwinotieno9189]

The original tune is Handel's. O God our help adapted the tune

[@penguinpenguin007]

@@edwinotieno9189 No the tune was written by Croft and later adapted by Handel a good 10 years later.

My choir performed this work in Nigeria in 2016 of which I was the conductor. There is no much different. We used organ and piano. Thanks for sharing.

[@otonnah]

Can I get the copy please?

[@kyrieeleison7065]

It's online

[@otonnah]

@@kyrieeleison7065 The one online is the staff. I'm looking for the transcribed copy.

[@mattyregelmaessig8654]

Early Handel at his best. Beautiful performance, too.

[@bobh5087]

The opera composer Handel certainly knew how to fashion some gorgeous and memorable melodies. ❤️ Does one hear the first bars of "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" in the opening chorus ?

[@ti-jesuadeleke5563]

Yup, heard it too. Infact, was what drew me to this particular anthem.

[@wolfgangtempele2808]

13:20 With Cheerful notes let all the earth (14:51 soprano let all inspir'd with godly mirth) 19:38 Ye Boundless realms of joy

[@stanbattle7436]

Bach had his cantatas, and Handel had the Chandos anthems.
