Royal Choral Society: 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Handel's Messiah

The Royal Choral Society has performed Handel's Messiah on Good Friday at the Royal Albert Hall every year since 1876. The RCS filmed their performance on 6 April 2012 by kind permission of the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This clip features the glorious Hallelujah Chorus with the choir performing under the baton of their Music Director Richard Cooke. Students from the City of Lodon School for Girls joined the choir for this performance.. For further information on forthcoming RCS concerts please see www.royalchoralsociety.co.uk.

Happy Resurrection and Easter Day 2024!

[@teesawatkins5720]

question- why do you call it both names for the same day??..(do the research ?)..."easter" is from satan...it's named after a demon goddess...the ORIGINAL and PROPER name IS "Resurrection Day", for the obvious reason...that's what the early church taught!..for He IS risen, resurrected from the dead!..i'm sorry, but that caught my eye, and i said "what??"...just something to think about is all...thank you tho, i know you meant it for good!..God bless you wonderfully and amazingly!!..🙏👍🏻😇

My grandfather just passed away this evening. I was at the hospital with him, by his bedside, shortly after he passed. We had some music playing next to him, and when everyone stepped out of the room to give me a few minutes with him to say my final goodbyes, an instrumental version of masterpiece started playing (I've always loved Handel's _Messiah_ ). I interpreted it as God's little "wink" to me that all is well, and that my grandpa, with all those who die in the Lord, is victorious, and will now eternally enjoy the presence of the One who reigns forever.

Christ is eternal and my life is in him. “these things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God” 1 John 5:13 & the gospel of John in chapter 3 in the King James Holy Bible.

The first day of class, (end of August) the teacher hands us the sheet music for this song. As the teacher took role call, I remember looking at the music and the first soprano notes heading into the RAFTERS! Thought we were going to need ladders to reach them! By time of the concert in December, I totally enjoyed the song because it was a challenge. The Christmas concert was at a local church and we got a standing ovation! We were so proud of our selves. 😃 My senior year of high school, (1986) I joined the church adult choir, and our choir director had us do this song for Resurrection Sunday. I was already familiar with it and this time got to really listen to the words. Between the music and the lyrics, I came to realize what a strong, powerful and beautiful song it truly is❣ In the last ten years, I have completely lost my singing voice. 😔 I was never going to make it into a career, but I enjoyed singing so much.

Yes. I remember it was definitely something to learn when I sang tenor for a choir around Christmas. I loved learning it and glad I got to be apart of that. BEAUTIFUL song! Praise God!

[@evahecker7262]

It sounds like 3 or 4 groups singing in the round, I bet this rehearsal took a while, but definitely worth it, I use to be in choir but I never want this one, the soprano part takes your breath away,but I'm going to practice perfecting it, just for my own. Satisfaction, It makes me feel like he's near me when I listen to this,such a beautiful feeling.i can't wait to see him his love will end all of the pain.!!!!

i'm practicing this song with my class. i'm a soprano ,and those high notes r no joke!

[@tamarawhite3553]

Same the notes are high asf

[@phish_smish]

They're not even that high 😂

[@mikeprevost8650]

@@phish_smish They're not that high for singers of this ability, They're high af for high schoolers, and community chorales. Lots of chorales use an arrangement one step lower, in the key of C, where the highest note for sopranos and tenors is a G.

[@teesawatkins5720]

may i say something please??..your comment IS beautiful, but- also an oxymoron...(yes, i DO know what you mean)...you said "He is risen" (AMEN!), but you also called it "easter"...i so wish that Christians would get their wording straight...it is "Resurrection Day" for the OBVIOUS reason, and NOT "easter"...the early church (beginning of Acts) knew nothing about that day being called easter...they ALL called it Resurrection Day, because they were preaching it!..the word easter came waaay later, and was named after an evil demon goddess...the devil did THAT...and to this day alot of people just say that word without realizing WHERE it came from...but i know it's with good intentions...but it's time for the Body of Christ to call that day what it REALLY is!..Resurrection Day!..beings that's the whole point!..He IS risen, resurrected from the dead!..HALLELUJAH!!..Praise God!!..just something to think about is all...thanks!..God bless you wonderfully and amazingly!!..🙏👍🏻😇

George Frederic Haendel has been one of the first true europeans - like Beethoven and Goethe. One fine day this will be the hymn of a whole world united. Thanks to the Royal Choral Society for this GREAT performance ! !

That moment in the first few notes when the audience rises in the glorious tradition, the sound of everyone leaving their seats and the chorus exclaiming the first few Hallelujahs! Breathtaking, tear-inducing, life-giving majesty.

[@boom-bm1kl]

It's the best. It's because when this was played for a king centuries ago, a little bit into the song, the king was so moved that he stood up. And in those days if the king stands up, so do you!

[@michellekampe5619]

Powerful

[@roberthudson1959]

@@boom-bm1kl That's the myth. The reality is that the custom started during the reign of King George II of England, who never attended a performance. We don't know why it started, but it is a wonderful tradition.

Supposedly when Handel was composing this piece his assistant became concerned after calling to him for some time with no response. He entered the room to find his master in tears He asked what was wrong and Handel held up the sheet music for the Chorus and said "I have seen the Face of God"

[@clarab6092]

It's musically rather trivial compared to other things Händel did, even in the Messiah there is much, much greater music, but ok. Because it makes you feel a certain way, it must be the greatest music ever written. 🙄

Yes. My favorite Christmas song.
