Detailed Description
SKU: A0.1506847
Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Brian Strohmetz. 19th Century,Christian,Christmas,Classical,Holiday. 70 pages. Brian Strohmetz #1082223. Published by Brian Strohmetz (A0.1506847).The "Hallelujah Chorus" from George Frideric Handel's Messiah has been a significant part of my musical journey, starting with my high school choir's annual holiday performances. Now, as an educator, I’m proud to continue this tradition with my own students. This arrangement for Concert Band and Choir allows us to explore the piece in a new way, blending the familiar choral lines with the dynamic power of a full band.
Handel composed the Messiah in just 24 days in 1741, and the "Hallelujah Chorus" quickly became one of its most iconic pieces. Tradition has it that King George II was so moved during the London premiere that he stood up, leading the audience to follow suit—an act that began the custom of standing during the chorus that continues to this day. As we perform this timeless work, we connect with a piece of history that has inspired audiences for nearly three centuries, and I hope it will continue to resonate with you as deeply as it has with me.
**The Choral Parts, Piano Accompaniment & Rehearsal Marks are consistent with the
G. Schirmer Choral Edition of this piece**
