Thought we could try to get some enthusiasm for a more traditional Christmas music thread, be it just favourite carols, or any of the multitude of great seasonal music composed down the centuries (not sure if L v Beethoven ever did anything Christmassy LG, we probably need to investigate!!??)
Next week I'm singing in a performance of Handel's 'Messiah'. I've sung an enthusiastic (but frequently rather approximate bass-baritone!!) in various amateur choirs and choral societies for over 20 years, and it's always enormous fun. Most choral societies around the world traditionally put on a performance of 'Messiah' just before Christmas each year, so here's the famous 'Hallelujah' chorus, which I think has a place in this thread, even if the other 2 hours+ of Messiah probably doesn't!! I think there's about 120 of us singing next week, plus an orchestra, so not quite on this grand scale, but I'm sure still most uplifting...
