- "Sinfony"
- Comfort y, my people, saith your God
- Every valley shall be exalted
- And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
- Thus saith the Lord of Hosts
- But who may abide the day of His coming?
- And He sahll purify the sons of Levi
- Behold, a virgin shall conceive O, thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, arise
- For behold, darkness shall cover the earth
- The people that walked in darkness
- For unto us a child is born
- Sinfonia pastorale There were shepherds abiding in the field And
- Glory to God in the highest
- Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion
- Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened He shall feed His flock like a shepherd
- His yoke is easy, and His burthen is light
- Behold the lamb of God
- He was despised and rejected of men
- Surely He hath borne our griefs
- And with His stripes we are healed
- All we like sheep have gone astray
- All they that see Him laugh Him to scorn
- He trusted in God that He would deliver Him
- Thy rebuke hath broken His heart
- Behold and see if there be any sorrow
- He was cut off out of the land of the living But Thou didst not leave His soul in hell
- Lift up your heads, O ye gates
- Unto which of the angels said He at any time
- Let all the angels of God worship Him
- Thou art gone up on high
- The Lord gave the world
- How beautiful are the feet of them
- Their sound is gone out into all lands
- Why do the nations so furiously rage together
- Let us break their bonds asunder
- He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron
- Hallelujah !
- I know that my redeemer liveth
- Since by man came death
- Behold, I tell you a mystery The trumpet shall sound
- Then shall be brought O Death, where is thy sting?
- But thanks be to God who giveth us the victory
- If God be for us, who can be against us?
- Worthy was the Lamb that was slain Amen
Free Music Notes for Handel - Messiah
Free Music Review: More than 5 stars
Hit: 5 Stars
There is an alchemy in this recording that if extremely rare to find outside of a concert hall. Even though the tempi are usual and it is more "baroquey" than my tastes run, this is one of the most magical recording I have come across. I wish I could give it more than five stars.
Handel - Messiah Poster
"Messiah" was presented often during Handel's lifetime, and the composer made changes to suit the occasions and singers available. In 1750, it was presented with the castrato Guadagni in place of a female alto soloist, and given Guadagni's virtuosity (he was Gluck's first Orfeo), Handel embellished the vocal line--the effect is stunning. Ren? Jacobs leads a superb reading of this version of the score--a very secular reading--with swift tempi, lightness of attack, interesting swelling, and diminishing of choral notes to great effect and an overall excellent cast. Countertenor Lawrence Zazzo takes the Guadagni part and fills it with grand style; Kerstin Avemo is the fine soprano soloist and bass Neal Davies sings up a storm. The men and women of the Choir of Clare College are in top form and the 28 players of the Feiburger Barockorchester play with accuracy, verve, and handsome tone. Yes, there are dozens of recordings of this work available, but this one is worthy to stand beside the best. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
