Handel's Messiah - Hallelujah Chorus (bass part - video 17)

[@Londonfogey]

My go-to channel between choir practice and Sunday service to try to make sense of the anthem!

[@basshymn]

Great! If there’s anything I haven’t done that would be helpful let me know

[@mcbnorthwest5663]

You have poured a tremendous amount of work into these videos and have done a great service to churches and choirs everywhere. You have saved me a lot of work now and in the future and you have spared my choir basses from having to listen to bass help tracks that I hastily throw together with a voice not as good as yours. Thank you and God bless you!

[@basshymn]

Thank you! Yes - a lot of effort to do all of the hymns that most churches with a choir might be expected to sing, but hopefully worth it. I don’t think any of the other parts channels have done very many hymns. Glad to help!

[@linuphysio]

You've been a wonderful help with this bass part for the past 8 years where i sang in 2 different churches this for Christmas. it's best to return back and do fine tuning.. keep up the good work, keep adding more bass part..

[@basshymn]

Glad to help - yes, will keep adding more and more gradually!

[@florodabu434]

What a great help! My cousin (may she rest in peace) took pains to teach us the notes, but she is gone now. But you have done it very well, and I am practicing it for Holy Thursday this year! Thanks for your great contribution!

[@basshymn]

Glad to help! Thanks for sharing

[@colinbell-NI]

Thanks once again for this. Im learning this for the first time and shocked at how tricky im finding it. There`s more to it than i realised.

[@basshymn]

It’s tough! Must have been some good singers around in the 1740s - they didn’t even get to hear what it went like first!

[@sonjamyers8773]

Thank you for sharing. This will help me practice for our chorale project

[@basshymn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@navyblowk]

You're an absolute star - two hours before we sing it, and I've had you on loop for quite some time! Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

[@basshymn]

Glad to help! Merry Christmas!

Brilliant! Ah didn’t see this message 2 months ago, thanks for renotifying me. Congratulations!

[@tallman24213]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. A big help!

[@packjim56]

I sure could have used this 5 years ago for a concert I was in. Boy what a struggle that bass part was. I kept coming in with the Tenors.

[@caltechharvard]

Thank you. Thank you!!!

[@paulvanklaveren4262]

Thank you...

[@christchurchboy]

Well Done, a great help.

[@annekevangorkum]

Just a question for mesure 66, are they not two quarter notes i.s.o. of two eight's?Thank you for ALL the work you do to help us sing! You're just GREAT!!!

[@basshymn]

Yes. Oops. Maybe I’ll redo it one day!

[@florodabu434]

Another thanks to you. Our choir director is planning to have us sing this at the Easter Vigil this year and your post is a Godsend. However, I’m not sure how the other parts are doing.

[@basshymn]

No problem. Yes, it’s hard - much easier to sing it in in a big choir where people can catch back up again if they get lost. Oh well, good luck!

[@benswartz6387]

gosh darn this is hard!

[@basshymn]

Tell me about it! But it’s amazing what sticks in the memory.

[@tltjapkes]

Huge help. Thank you!

[@AntonioHernandez-ln5ii]

thanks a lot!!!🥰

[@basshymn]

No problem!

[@annekevangorkum]

Great! I wish you all the best in 2018 and please go on singing and helping! How about Karl Jenkings. Mass for Peace?Thankful greetings, Anneke

[@basshymn]

That’s a good suggestion... I’ll see if I can find the sheet music!

[@tferrerd]

Useful stuff! Thank you!

[@basshymn]

tferrerd Thanks, very kind.

[@Simon1111022]

Thanks for sharing. I echo the sentiments of shortytimmy. Your videos are a big help to us struggling choir members. Do you ever do any PP Bliss hymns?

[@matthewlambert9242]

other then just listening to this track, How would you go about learning to Bass?

[@basshymn]

+Matthew Lambert I'm not very knowledgeable about the techniques of singing ... but I am quite good at sight singing! I think having a good understanding of written music helps a lot. I think I will make a set of videos helping people with sight singing after Christmas.

[@matthewlambert9242]

basshymn I'll look forward to them, but until then keep up the great work. :)

[@basshymn]

+Matthew Lambert great! Should probably start planning them!

[@黄泽盛]

Thank you! It is very helpful! Great!!!!!!

[@basshymn]

No problem!

[@rachelbayliss3999]

[@emmai1242]

basshymn I appreciate all your works, but I really need to get the bass part for below Dettingen Te Deum #2 All the Earth Doth Worship Thee, Handel.avi

[@basshymn]

+Emma I Hi - thanks for asking for this, I don't know it. When is your concert? I can do it but I have other things to do as well at the moment ...

[@basshymn]

I only know Man of sorrows ... I've done a video of it today! I'll message it to you.

[@黄泽盛]

Can you do me a favor? singing magnificat and nunc dinittis in B flat , by Charles Vlliers stanford. Thank you very much!

[@basshymn]

Yes, I should definitely do this one, thanks for the suggestion!

[@黄泽盛]

+basshymn thank you very much! You are so great!

[@basshymn]
