Hallelujah

Okay I am just starting to menstruate and due to 'the change' my hormones are stronger than usual but still this made me bawl my eyes out this morning. Considering I was raised with more records of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir than anything else played in my home (aren't you guys lucky you had me and the brothers to ameliorate that a little!)I do love Handel's Messiah and especially the Hallelujah Chorus. There is something about the way it is presented here with the choir members dressed like mall shoppers and workers that gets to me - the symbolism it evokes - kind of like the lyrics to Drummer Boy. Anyways, here it is. Enjoy.

that was amazing! I watched it twice already. I got teary too and would have cried more if Ben hadn't been right there. I'm going to watch it every time I need a pick-me-up.

Well, I showed it to Rhiannon today because she is playing the Hallelujah Chorus on violin (second violin part) with an orchestra and I tried to talk to her during it.... couldn't....
