I know the Hallelujah chorus is the most well-known part of it, but the part that I crank to the high Heavens is "He shall purify." That showcases the full range of the choir in my opinion. Nevertheless, it's all glorious. There's a story that tells of Handel's assistant finding him crumpled on the floor, in tears, after he completed the Messiah. He claimed to have seen God. No wonder. There's just something stirring and powerful about that piece that cannot be matched.
I agree! I love all of the Messiah sections but my favorite may be the Choral "For unto us a Child is born".
So completely glorious that I felt overwhelmed the first time I heard the entire Messiah performed in a Cathedral with Choir and Orchestra. I can easily picture Handel seeing the face of God! 🙌
Have a Blessed Christmas Vindicator! 🙏🎄
You too my dear. 😉
