Each year we attend a Handel's Messiah Sing-a-long which is an ever entertaining performance. The Loveland Orchestra provides beautiful symphonic accompaniment and the local Chorals provide the solo singers. We go through all of the big choruses and the high points of the Messiah with the audience comprising the chorus. I would be lying to say that a few wrong notes didn't come out now and again. It is, after all, one of the greatest works of all time! Yet, there is something amazing that happens when people gather and sing through those amazing words of Scripture.
To hear the rafters ring "And the Glory of the LORD..." "His Yoke is Easy..." and, of course, ending with a triumphant Hallelujah Chorus. This wonderful work gives us the whole story. From Isaiah, from the Gospels. From the word of God set to the most beautiful music, man can write. Might I recommend, for your holiday season, sitting down and listening to the beautiful words of the Handel's Messiah?
Yes, you might! And I might just do that, maybe this very evening. Thank you, Bradley.
