Hallelujah (Aleluya) And He shall reign forever and forever




Handel composed the Hallelujah Chorus (Handel’s Messiah) in a mere 24 days. “I have seen the face of God!” He proclaimed with tears streaming down his face.  The lyrics are taken from the New Testament: Revelation 19:6, 19:16, 11:15. For 200 years whenever this chorus is performed the audience stands. This is a tradition started from King George II in honor of the King of kings, the Messiah.
