[@charlessnyder7624]

I think in the age where Christian musicians are trying to act look like rock stars in country singers is refreshing to hear and see denomination both in their music and their appearance show True reverence and love for our creator

[@ianwestbrook2474]

How I agree with this person…. We are trying to put pop people into churches ….. it’s an abhorrent to me ….. love love love this great great choir ❤

[@christos715]

As true disciples of Jesus Christ our lifestyle should always be totally opposite of the world, especially our music. I respect the honor that is given to the music here by this choir.

[@marthacain1468]

As a little girl, not yet 3 years old...my life was saved by a kind bystander. He happened to be a young LDS man of Swedish heritage. Harry Licele, rescued me from certain death by drowning. He & his family & my momma & daddy & this grateful soul are bound as friends in Christ, Jesus forever. When thanked for his heroic kindness, his answer was..".as mormon, a son of God & follower of our Savior, Christ~Jesus, it was my honor". I still have the last birthday card he & his wife Eva sent me. I am 79, now...by God's Grace & Harry's faith.

[@SteveWall1]

What a lovely story! Thank you for sharing your story with me!

[@dominiquemanariyo9273]

Very Heart warming.

[@ellen823ful]

I think this whole Messiah was inspired by all the angels of heaven and placed in the mind of George Frederick Handel.

[@MsPika62]

This is the Amen to the Resurrection... The event in all of history that changes everything forever.... I expect to hear God's Angels singing this when I get to heaven. AMEN!

[@davidfillmore3151]

thank you Mac Wilberg and the tabernacle choir and orchestra for this beautiful rendition of Handel's messiah finale. Hard to express in words the feeling of it all.

[@gillianhammond6036]

Indeed he's worthy... To receive power, riches, wisdom.... Worthy to sit upon the throne

[@sonicfan9588]

Handel’s Messiah will always be an amazing masterpiece

[@KimmyMalfoy45]

I am not religious but this piece of music never ceases to move me. A true testament to the wonderful composing of Handel and to the great musicians performing. Thank you for this performance!

[@annarichardson8284]

You may not be religious but you are faithful. That is what moves you. Merry Christmas.

[@SteveWall1]

I had the great opportunity to perform The Messiah with my high school's A Capella and Concert Choirs singing the choruses, guest soloists from the local community and University, and our valley's symphony orchestra. It is an absolutely amazing work - G.F. Handel was clearly directed by God in his scoring and in his choice of Holy Scripture for his text! I recall being utterly and completely ( but joyously!) drained at the end. I believed in God, the Father, and in Jesus Christ before learning this incredible music, but after all if our preparation and our performance, my faith rose to a whole new level! I express to you my faith - no, my surety that The Messiah, even my Savior, Christ the Lord, truly is the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords - that he Lived, that he suffered for my sins, your sins, and the sins of all those who ever lived or will live on the Earth, that he was slain, Rose from the grave, and lives even now! I know this even more surely than if I had seen it for myself, through the power of the Holy Spirit, who testifies of all truth - and if you do not know this for yourself, you can Know! You must ask God the Father, in the name of Christ - He will answer you, if you truly ask in faith, with a real desire to receive an answer! This I Promise you, in the name of The Messiah, even Jesus Christ, amen!

[@joemachunda]

I sang this with an orchestra. It is so hard to sing and not weep. Heavenly voices inspired

[@Peptalkmom]

This song blows me away. There are no words.

[@mtuffnell1]

probably the greatest Amen" ever penned. Always thrilling.

[@jayems332]

Oh yes!

[@123Apollo321]

This ending is divine; I think the silence before the final Amen is one of the most beautiful and effective silences in all music. Goes to show how powerful Handel's writing is - even his silences are incredible

[@peterlittlehorse]

123Apollo321 i think that is one of the most beautiful comments ive ever seen. it made me weep

[@johnfrancisokijet9794]

The last stanzas of GF Handel songs are all adagio....very exceptional ....

[@lewiscastleman9111]

“YES”!!!...............”AMEN”!!!..................

[@rosaliebent4833]

Just after the silence in the Hallelujah chorus

[@sandrsookchan9568]

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain by the Altos

[@francisifeanyi4093]

God bless Handel...His legacy lives

[@Swissi1975]

I also sang the Messiah. It was a magical moment for me and whenever I hear that final chorus, the beautiful memories come flooding back.

[@cromana5574]

Must have been heavenly to be there. It's been two years since I heard the Messiah, due to the lockdowns and restrictions. Sad loss for humanity.

[@ellentrumpler1]

I don't care what faith you are, if you can't listen to this music and be moved by it, be touched or inspired by it....there's something wrong. In its own way it is a perfect rendition of the piece that Handel composed in times past (1700s)...which is divinely inspired. Splendid.

[@23Hope]

Danke super Zugaben bitte

[@1mfaunce]

Ellen Trumpler pZahh

[@playstation3526]

almost perfect except for the trumpet fart at 6:30

[@SteveWall1]

¡Amén!

[@felixiawallace3403]

A very wonderful rendition Always superbly done, Ialways love it, thanks guys...

[@paulonuoha4161]

It is this type of song St. Paul says he who sings well prays twice. What a beautiful voices combined.

[@johnbpullin1]

I can only imagine hearing this live and in the Tabernacle! My heart would probably explode!!

[@terrapruett8273]

We sang a few pieces of The Messiah when I was in high school some 50 years ago. It is quite difficult to sing (and for teenagers?) but we were a very good choir. Our instructor later transferred and was the music director at Brigham Young University. I still remember the words of the beautiful songs. It was hard but so worth the effort. Thank you Mr Handel.

[@lisilonglegs]

This video helps me feel the solemn JOY of Easter. Thanks to our Heavenly Father for sending His Son Jesus Christ to earth. And thanks to our Savior for being willing to do everything He did for us.

[@margcarter9244]

behold the Lamb of God ,that takes away the sin of the world!!

[@annkennedy3644]

I needed to hear this when I heard that this choir (Mormon) performed this exact piece at the Chicago World’s Fair in the 1890’s. What a legacy. Hallelujah, indeed!

[@Lyndyette]

As beautiful and inspiring as this music is....I had a dream where the music I heard was beyond this world. It was a blessing so be comforted my BRETHREN, there is music in Heaven that will consume and convict ones soul that GOD has much for those who love HIM! As I was awakening from this beautiful dream I could still HEAR this music. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Blessing in Jesus I pray for all.

[@kabugoventino5376]

I can't stop listening to these heavenly vocals. I'm soothed and tranquilized by the tabernacle voices. Thank you for the great work

[@adamelmasery7723]

Amen Amen Amen In Jesus Christ Name

[@jeanthornton234]

So fantastic ,i love this music from your choir, i could listen to it for evermore the Messiah , i love to sing it myself, i might go to sing it in Scarborough , the Scarborough choral society are singing it, i would very much like to sing it again with them, i really enjoyed singing it before with them and the conductor's is excellent.

[@innoma8558]

God bless, "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" in Jesus name!

[@susanrsmith3701]

Our church choir sang this at the new organ dedication. Awesome! I was in the choir. It was wonderful to get to sing it!

[@angieallen4884]

I have sung "Messiah" many times but I only ever listen to the Tab sing it! That last high note by the sopranos at the end of the "Amen" was like one voice...just perfect. The articulation was so wondrously clear. I am tucking this away to listen to again and again.

[@gracemulinda1700]

I feel like God has talked to my soul and I can't imagine how is gonna be when I see my lord 👑

[@hankprevette1294]

Magnificent! Very close to what we'll experience around the Throne....for those how know Jesus personally. Praise His Name!

[@paulmarsland2911]

[@okechukwunnorom8211]

Sincerely speaking this music reminds me and emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the gate, He is the way, He is the truth, and He is the light and life of all mankind! May God bless all who are here enjoying this music, and those not here that may be struggling to find Him. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.....JUST believe in HIM....just whisper now "LORD JESUS CHRIST HELP ME"

[@amourkoudjegan]

The second heaven. May GOD prepare all man and woman !

[@bradbackauthor9940]

It's amazing that it was all composed in such a SHORT TIME!!!

[@1houndgal]

My favorite part of singing the Messiah is the "Amen Chorus".

[@Hannodb1961]

We usually end our services with a short Amen song. I sometimes wish we could sing THIS amen.

[@Musica-xo3uv]

Magnificent. A choral trilogy. "Whorty is the Lamb", a majestic prelude, "Blessing and honor", a triumphant fugue and "Amen", a sublime fugue ... the subject is divided, subdivided, inverted, enriched with counter-subjects and subordinated to many ingenious and latent purposes of harmony, melody and imitation.

[@moominmama4959]

When I was a teenager, our very enthusiastic choir leader and very courageous organist assisted our rag-tag volunteer church choir in learning and performing this piece. I'm so grateful to them for giving me this music to keep always: it is still echoing through my mind and ringing through my heart all these years later.

[@rexcluff3105]

Yes, I learned the Messiah, including this great number when I was a teen about 50 years ago. I have a life long appreciation for Handel.

[@leonangomes1359]

Concordo!

[@BijahD]

Just simply magnificent! Can you imagine the impact and gravity of the first performance of this work back in the 1700's?!

[@hugogreeff8539]

The most beautiful music on earth, God bless all!!

[@benfelix1830]

I feel like i captured angels singing in heaven by my own camera

[@joyed7505]

This is perfection... The Handel's Messiah is simply a blessing to man.

[@robbhays8077]

This was sung by the Choir at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. What a fitting introduction of the Choir to the world!

[@MariaGonzalez-vw7ii]

Excelente ..... Divino!!!! Solamente en la Iglesia de Jesucristo encontramos esto.

[@francismwendo9532]

The spirit of God was witth Handel,his compositions are heavenly

[@edmondbeatty9309]

[@davidpanton2857]

April 19th, 2018. Today. The last day of the last 70 year period of Jubilee, after 5778 years: Independance Day for Israel. God is definitely in control, and soon, in the twinkling of an eye, we WILL all be changed.

[@juliakra01]

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by His blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. Blessing and honor, glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. Amen

[@007TruthSeeker]

Oh! To be somewhere near the organ console, to hear all those voices belting out these last parts of the Messiah. What a thrill that would be. I'm sure this will be sung regularly on the other side, with angels participating and hearts bursting with happiness and joy.

[@themreiyot.awungshi4182]

May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you all my brothrens

[@mabelkane8240]

I bet that even the angels fold their wings when they listen to this. I get transported.

[@Isolvedit]

An exceptionally talented tenor voice. Soars on high octaves with ease. Wonderful to the ear.

[@takiedaniel2546]

[@andrewswan4911]

The days of Brigham are long gone but his legacy remains in this movement well done

[@rattywoof5259]

What's really impressive about this is how such a huge choir can sound so agile and sing with such clarity of line - close your eyes and it sounds like a top class chamber choir.

[@TedATL1]

Ratty Woof Excellent point for those pedants in the “originalist” camp.

[@goodday9379]

This piece of rendition has really made my day

[@jamesojara6446]

It depicts the heavenly tune.hope one day we shall rejoice with it among the Angels of God and the saints in the last day before the worthy lamb that was slain

[@colleenreep3853]

I've listened to the Tabernacle Choir my entire life, always being uplifted and usually brought to tears of gratitude and joy for these precious brothers and sisters who give so tirelessly of their not inconsiderable talent. This is one of the perfect gifts during this blessed Easter Season, especially during this extremely difficult year when the world is plagued by COVID-19. What joy to know with perfect understanding, that the Lord God Omnipotent stands ready to bear us up because of his ultimately, eternal sacrifice for all his children.

[@DLordsEmpire]

This is really amazing...... Tabernacle Choir is really the best. The amen is angelic 💜

[@acdones8793]

[@noriemeha]

When the top soprano line come in on the A minor, near the end of the Amen chorus, I always fall apart in this great music.

[@princeanilov6351]

Have same feelings as well.

[@RockSmithStudio]

I love this songs.I've loved to sing to the most high God.

[@peterlittlehorse]

I sang in a symphony choir and handel's messiah was a tremendous challenge for all, but by this point into it, the last 2 songs, i was SO emotional. I did the high amen note( right near the end) by myself that time, and my heart felt like it would burst from how close i was to God at that moment

[@agrimi01]

Truly amazing. I listen to the entire collection many times during the year, not just at the holidays. The message is beautiful, the music outstanding. Thank God for allowing us to have this beautiful message by music.

[@skylercarlson8818]

This is truly the Lords choir. Each member is dedicated to singing to the Lord and to God. They are so inspiring. How can anyone deny the Spirit that is felt when the Tabernacle Choir sings. I can’t think of any other choir in this world that’s sings so magnificent and praiseworthy. this music testifies of the divinity Jesus Christ and brings joy to man.

[@captebbtide]

True enough, the good ol' MTC doesn't take a back seat to any other music group!

[@libertybea2024]
