Handel's The Messiah

Halelujah!  Halelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Halle-lu-jah!  I love love love Handel's Messiah. This year we attended a live performance that was orchestrated by the
It was glorious, the soloists sang so beautifully, the orchestra did wonderfully, the choir resonated the peace and joy that the Lord brings through music.  I loved watching the fingers of the musicians fly across the strings of their instrument.  Everything was so error free that I felt a strong reminder that God blesses all things that remind His people of His great love for them.  I know I felt it Sunday night, I was so inspired and comforted, and truly loved by Him. I am certain that all those in attendance felt the same way.
The program provided a brief synapsis of the history of the Messiah performance and the Multi Faith Orchestra and Chorus.

In the Oquirrh Mountain Symphony choir rehearsal this week, a gentleman approached me from the orchestra and said, "You were smiling right at me all through the performance, weren't you?" Honestly, I couldn't remember his face, but as he spoke I began to remember that he was the french horn player that sat right next to the piccolo trumpeter. I was fascinated by the piccolo trumpeter as he seemed so familiar, like I knew him from somewhere, not to mention that the musical part of the instrument was amazing! I so enjoyed all of the performers and I watched intently as they shared their gifts that night.  He stated that he had been with The Multi-Faith Messiah group for the last 11 years and he loved doing it every year.  He felt as though this was their best year ever. From where I sat that evening, I would fully agree.  It was a beautiful performance that was filled with God's love and light. "And He will reign forever and ever more!"

In attendance this night was myself, Burt, Nathan, Meagan and Meagan's friend Austin.
