Adoration of the Shepherds and Glorification in Heaven
Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra with guest Vox Musica, dir. by Joanne Collier
It doesn’t seem like the holidays have arrived without hearing Handel’s Messiah. This beloved oratorio has become one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music, especially at Christmas time. In the mid-1730s, students were so enamoured of Handel’s music, especially his oratorios, that some of them sold their furniture to pay for their five-shilling tickets. Don’t run out and sell your couch yet - you’ll need it to sit and daydream on it after this incredible performance with the Lethbridge Symphony and Vox Musica.
