Hallelujah from "Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration"

By George Frideric Handel

the sheet music was as expected, but I didn't expect to pay 22.95 for one of the 16 songs when all were listed on the contents of the CD description. I called, and was told that the full CD was not avaialable in musical track without the words.

This music was recommended by one of my BEST singers in the Chorus. She had sang it years back in college. When I got the music and started learning it,I immediately loved the very contemporary rhythm and harmony. As an encouragement, I asked our accompanist to play the accompaniment...

, to give an idea and "feel" of how the music would go. Lo and behold! The entire Chorus just really enjoy learning it. It is awesome and we're looking forward to a very exciting and successful Winter Concert. I should say, it was not a mistake purchasing the musicI shall recommend this to all choirs or choruses looking for a very diversified, contemporary arrangement.

This is a gospel-type version of Handel's Hallelujah chorus. Although not easy, with plenty of jazzy rhythms to line up and occasional blue notes to find, the arrangement is great fun and well worth the effort.

An energetic, complicated piece of music; once your choir learns it, they will love it and so will your audience.
