Messiah is often performed in churches as well as in concert halls. Christmas concerts often feature only the first section of Messiah plus the "Hallelujah" chorus, although some ensembles feature the entire work as a Christmas concert. The work is also heard at Eastertide, and selections containing resurrection themes are often included in Easter services."rich10ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815670014265733834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-10564406348983676042010-12-12T20:02:03.054-05:002010-12-12T20:02:03.054-05:00I agree with you here!!!I agree with you here!!!rich10ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815670014265733834noreply@blogger.com
