The story behind the composing of this is fascinating. Handel fasted and stayed awake during the 21 days it took him to compose the entire thing, had a vision of God on His throne while composing this portion.
I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk💜🕊💜 I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!! ✌💜🕊🙏
I sang this with about 1500 other high school students in Germany, in 1974. Every school in the country sent one student to a massive festival, and I was honored to be part of it, as the representative from the US Air Force headquarters high school from Wiesbaden. First and only time in my life I have broken a sweat singing my guts out.
One thing that the Mormons did was to understand the need for high quality choir and orchestra because it touches and bangs us n the soul for Gods revelation and spirit n our hearts
I’m Catholic and I’m here for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir because they just do the music justice like no other choir I’ve heard. Magnificent. Just beyond words.
I grew singing this in high school. I simply love it! When I regained consciousness after a major medical. My son was playing this at my medside to prove to"medical professionals that's I was responsive and lucid. They wanted to give up on me. But hmy son knew what to do to interest me to wake up. Hallelujah!!
Every time the women sing KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS and their pitch gets higher and higher, always touches my soul in ways I can't explain. Simply angelic.
I completely agree. At that point, I feel like heaven and earth touch, and that's where I get a glimpse of heaven. I think Jesus had his hand on Handel's should when he wrote the whole Oratorio.
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah King of kings and Lord of lords King of kings and Lord of lords And He shall reign forever and ever Forever and ever Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
I'm not Mormon but your choir is a blessing! I get chills every time I hear this song and want to fall on my face before the Lord. For His glorious return I pray...
I’m agnostic for most of the time in life, but these 4 minutes make me want to pray to the heavens! Just a beautiful choir of talented, beautiful people that makes you think the best of humanity. Thanks for bringing this to us all.
Kitty Watson .....You’ll be blessed, forever, here & in Heaven! 🙏🏼 I have received so many many miracles, I will never ever stop believing in Almighty God! 🛐
If you ever doubted the existence of God this would surely convince you. The pure Divinity in Handel’s music ,the choir, the orchestral arrangement and the sheer scale of this rendition. It’s absolutely stunning!
Old line Southern Baptist here but I must say that the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra of the Latter-Day Saints Temple are in my opinion the best in the world. Couple that with what is probably the most magnificent piece of music ever written and you surely must feel that the Heavens have opened up and the angels have joined in.
In a 65 person Church Choir, my first such experience, we were blessed to learn this from our Pastoral Minister, JM ..he put us through the paces for 4 months to sing this at Christmas Eve Mass 2018. I had never been aware of this song. After the Choir sang this, ( I was in as a Bass 1 ) for our congregation, I, we, many seniors, kindda fell back on the bench seats in the Choir Loft, just winded and near tears that we pulled it off. The Choir Pastoral Minister bid us to stand, from below in the Church, 300 fellow parishioners applauded. I looked at my feet in humility. We had put in 4 hrs a week for 4 months, I could feel Heaven and the smile of Jesus and my deceased family. Now, if I listen to Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing this, I cry. God prevailed. Covid flees, Maybe soon we sing in Choir again.
Handel must have been inspired by God when he wrote Messiah. Because when you listen to it, all of the songs, especially this Hallelujah Chorus, just feel like the kind of songs the hosts of heaven would sing when they raise their voices to praise their Lord and Redeemer.
Even though a Christian Orthodox, I have to give it to these Mormon Choristers.. Their voices are pure heaven and take the celebration of Christmas to another level! Congratulations to all involved in this video. God Bless!
I love it too, once upon a time, when I was young, I was mormon, but now I know that music is vibration of matter, if there is no matter,( air), music is impossible, then in heaven...
@@luizantoniokesselring6831 What makes you think you can know anything of heaven? Many have heard heavenly choirs singing. What do we know? Don't lose your faith in God because of ignorance of His reality. Man's is the failure of intellect, not our Creator. ✨Come Lord Jesus, come. God's Will be done in all things. IJNIP, Amen.✨✝️🙏🏼💖 Hallelujah! Amen.🙌🏻
Best choir on the planet. And I'm an atheist. It is truly to awesome to experience this in the tabernacle, which I have. What an amazing space of pure acoustic bliss. My music and choir teacher in high school was a soprano member and her voice was so beautiful and powerful. She was a wonderful woman and music teacher.
This is absolutely so beautiful. I left my Church five years ago but I never left Jesus in my heart. I want to sing like you and I want to belong something. I’m lost.
You belong to Jesus. I'm so sorry for your bad times - just coming out of a year of illness and injuries and bewilderment. Today coming home from my latest doctor I was just overwhelmed with a joyous feeling of peace and love . I was listening to Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb so that doesn't explain anything. But I was overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude and grace. Maybe God sent me here to tell you to hold on to Jesus no matter what. I am praying God touches your life soon and sends you the same peace and joy I received today. I pray He sends you a church and people to worship with. But sing out loud wherever you are, He will hear your heart. God bless you.
This was my dad's favorite hymn partly because he learned to play the organ in Holland in early 1940 at 13 yrs. old. The same organ Mozart and Mendellson trained on.
This incredible piece of music makes me want to jump for joy. I heard the Choir sing this live and it was electrifying! 20,000 people stood up at the end and gave them a standing ovation. Gives me goosebumps to remember that experience.
Even when you realize, that all Guardian angels of God are beside of you, ready to fight against the evel in the dark of desparation and grieve with his love and the holy spirit which enlights you suddenly like a flash
I sang this in High School, every year for 3 years. My high school had 12,000 students (larger than some universities), and 4 choruses, 2 orchestras, and one band. The auditorium was called The Chapel and had stained glass windows, because it had once been part of a Dutch Reformed Church, built in the 1600's, across from the school. Our Christmas concerts were glorious. All the choruses surrounded the listeners, (1 on stage, and 3 in the balconies) and while they each had their own Christmas music to sing....this song, was sung by all. It filled the chapel with such glory...and was so moving, those memories still make me tear up with joy, 60 years later.
Lars Smith Nope. You're thinking of "For unto Us a Child Is Born." That's a different piece from Handel's "Messiah." The lyrics to the "Hallelujah Chorus" aer taken from Revelation 11:15, Revelation 19:6, and Revelation 19:16. So I was crediting the wrong chapter, but the right book.
I sang this with about 1500 other singers in a massive hall at the state hall in the German state of Hesse. I think it was the Kurhaus. First and only time in my life I broke into a hard sweat singing a song. It was ... stunning.
I generally have a dim view of humanity, but to think that a man could compose this wonderful tribute to the King of Kings raises it a little in my view. Holy Spirit inspired no doubt.
When I was in pre-med at the University of Utah, I also had a job at a hotel across from Temple Square…which has the “Tab” choir. Thursday mornings were full practice. So I would sit and listen….”Ordinary looking” folks would walk in, chatting and laughing. Then with one voice and the powerful pipe organ, music and voices would join as one. The Tabernacle built 150 years ago with perfect acoustics. If you ever go West, go to Temple Square, learn about the journey with handcarts through the plains and mountains, architecture of the city. Salt Lake City is a beautiful city.
"I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself." The words of George Frideric Handel just as he had finished composing the Hallelujah Chorus, his face awash with tears.
He shall reign forever and ever
Yay!!
Its funny when ever anything actually good happens in my life. Wich is not that often but when it does. Happen in my head i always hear this
If a mortal can produce this magnificent piece, just emagine what is waiting for us in our FATHERS house.
Yes indeed🙏.
❤
Something more beautiful than we could ever imagine.
🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

No matter who is president,Jesus Christ is KING.✝
Someone else understands :)
I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk💜🕊💜 I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!! ✌💜🕊🙏
Halleujah
Ah yes...Hallelujah ✝️♥️🙏🎄✨️
Praise be to God
God is good. Always!
Praise god
This. Favorite piece of music ever written. Whenever i hear it, i feel Christ in me. I love pop and rock, but it just doesn't have the same effect.
The anthem never gets old... God bless the composer
I sang this with about 1500 other high school students in Germany, in 1974. Every school in the country sent one student to a massive festival, and I was honored to be part of it, as the representative from the US Air Force headquarters high school from Wiesbaden. First and only time in my life I have broken a sweat singing my guts out.
I would've love to have heard that. Is there a recording of it anywhere?
Ha. That's so cool
I too used to sing it in 2014 being a pupil in high school❤. Hello from Burundi, thé beautiful country in Africa!
It’s such a fun song to sing once the part is learned!
If it was the song that caused the king to STAND it must be good
When you see Jesus...and all you can do is fall down and worship Him.
One thing that the Mormons did was to understand the need for high quality choir and orchestra because it touches and bangs us n the soul for Gods revelation and spirit n our hearts
That’s one thing that the church I attend doesn’t understand. Nobody wants to put an effort into singing.
I’m Catholic and I’m here for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir because they just do the music justice like no other choir I’ve heard. Magnificent. Just beyond words.
God bless you for such very true insight
I grew singing this in high school. I simply love it! When I regained consciousness after a major medical. My son was playing this at my medside to prove to"medical professionals that's I was responsive and lucid. They wanted to give up on me. But hmy son knew what to do to interest me to wake up. Hallelujah!!
Correct! 💘
The Mormon Tabernacle choir I believe is one of the greatest choirs in the world.
soon the whole world will sing this and bow down to the Lord Messiah.
No one does this piece better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! NO ONE!!
Absolutely
I totally agree ten times over!!
Handel actually cried tears to his Servant upon finishing this oratorio…” God has truly spoken through me on this day!” 1741 AD
Magnificent Choir!!!
Thank you
Some day we may hear this actually sung by a Heavenly choir of millions.
Oh l hope so, l hope so!!
Amen, I hope so too
Amen!
And we will be singing with them.
This might be the single most magnificent song in history.
No might be about it, it is.
It most definitely is
Along with Beethoven' ninth and the song of Joy version
AMEN!!♥️♥️✝️✝️
Yes it is. The king stood when it started. We stand for it ever since then.
Every time the women sing KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS and their pitch gets higher and higher, always touches my soul in ways I can't explain. Simply angelic.
That part always makes the hair on my back and arms stand up.
My sentiments exactly!
I used to could sing that high soprano but as I've gotten older I'm now more of an alto as my voice has gotten lower.
I completely agree. At that point, I feel like heaven and earth touch, and that's where I get a glimpse of heaven. I think Jesus had his hand on Handel's should when he wrote the whole Oratorio.
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
King of kings and Lord of lords
King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign forever and ever
Forever and ever
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'm not Mormon but your choir is a blessing! I get chills every time I hear this song and want to fall on my face before the Lord. For His glorious return I pray...

The eternal god
Me too!
AMEN!
I'm not Mormon either, but I agree with you. This choir and orchestra is beyond good. They are superb!

Jesus is truly the Son of God and Saviour and Lord!
Percayalah Kristus adalah Tuhan dan Raja, Juruselamat saudaraku, seluruh kerajaan-kerajaan di dunia akan rumah tapi Kerajaannya tidak berkesudahan
Praise Him and you will find rest in your soul and your life.
I am so grateful to know You Lord! Thank You.....for coming to former lifelong atheist!

This song played when my Dad went to heaven in 2006.
Sorry for your loss.

Maybe soon we sing in Choir again.
Can’t imagine when we all sing this in heaven for his glory showing him how much we are grateful for saving us. Merci Jesus
Yup
praise God
Amen, thank you Jesus!
Love it. Wish I could hit the Love it button 1,000 times.
Nothing like the sound of a mass choir 🙏

Leporello Gatos I agree!!
And no one in the choir gets paid. They all volunteer their time.
@@perrymasonxix5954 from.Prophets ,Apostle a whatever position in Church is no pay at all.

You may not believe in God but He believes in you.
I had the privilege to sing the entire Messiah with the Wichita City Choir 34 years ago. One of my most treasured memories.
The pinnacle of western civilization!
Handel would be proud listening to this
Whenever I listen to this chorus,
I feel like I am in Heaven with Jesus with a big smile on his face to spread infinity
This is absolutely so beautiful. I left my Church five years ago but I never left Jesus in my heart. I want to sing like you and I want to belong something. I’m lost.
You belong to Jesus. I'm so sorry for your bad times - just coming out of a year of illness and injuries and bewilderment.

Jesus is the Lord of lords, God of gods
My parents played this every Christmas to wake everyone up in the morning.
Love it 😂 ❤
God bless the man that composed this anthem
The mighty god! Amen!
Composed by George Frideric Handel. ~
Alleluia Alleluia God bless Him more 🙏 ❤️ ❤
This was my dad's favorite hymn partly because he learned to play the organ in Holland in early 1940 at 13 yrs. old. The same organ Mozart and Mendellson trained on.
My Catholic school choir sang this at every Christmas concert. We closed the show with it. We were good, but not Mormon Tabernacle Choir good.
This incredible piece of music makes me want to jump for joy. I heard the Choir sing this live and it was electrifying! 20,000 people stood up at the end and gave them a standing ovation. Gives me goosebumps to remember that experience.

I can just imagine Jesus in heaven listening to this choir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My only hope is to hear this hymn to be sing by all the righteous people to receive Jesus from heaven in the second coming.
Of course you will. See you there!
The Universal Anthem of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm seeing the angels here.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless Us All 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Absolutely beautiful!
I can only imagine how glorious it shall be when the Lord shall return and a song like unto this shall be played for the King of Kings
The lyrics are, in fact, taken from the 15th chapter of Revelation, if I'm not mistaken..
That is correct, Lee.
Actually Bryce and Lee, it's from Isaiah 9:6, word for word. It's beautiful!
Lars Smith Nope. You're thinking of "For unto Us a Child Is Born." That's a different piece from Handel's "Messiah." The lyrics to the "Hallelujah Chorus" aer taken from Revelation 11:15, Revelation 19:6, and Revelation 19:16. So I was crediting the wrong chapter, but the right book.
My apologies. I was mistaken. It is from Revelations. I was thinking of For Unto Us A Child Is Born.
He shall reign forever and ever. King of kings and Lord of lords. Hallelujah! To God be all the glory, honor and praise!❤
for ever and ever.
Wow. Look how geniuely joyful everyone is. So beautiful.
Its just not Christmas until the Tabernacle Choir sings "Unto us a Child is Born" and "the Hallelujah Chorus" .
My favorite song of all the time ❤️❤️❤️
I can picture JESUS RETURN ON EARTH AND THIS BEING THE SANG , WOW !!! GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Praise the Lord Jesus 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Jesus shall reign forever and ever, amen!
So perfect rendition of Handel's messiah on christmas and Easter
The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our God and His Christ. Hallelujah ❤
Music reaches my soul. That’s what my mother touched me with. 😊
One of The Worlds best Chiors.
I am an atheist through and through but I love this Choir
Blessed be the name of the Infinite Eternal & Holy God
The day the Lord shall be a woundedrful day in the history of mankind, even the satan cannot stand before the Lord.
Im catholic but this is excellent.
I've been saved.
I sang this with about 1500 other singers in a massive hall at the state hall in the German state of Hesse. I think it was the Kurhaus. First and only time in my life I broke into a hard sweat singing a song. It was ... stunning.
Nobody has ever done it quite like they have !
I generally have a dim view of humanity, but to think that a man could compose this wonderful tribute to the King of Kings raises it a little in my view. Holy Spirit inspired no doubt.
There is hope for the future with like minded good people.
Que benção d o céu direto para terra maravihha riquezas divina não tem quem não goste.
In just 24 days no less! Definitely inspired
They sure know how to tell God we love him while bringing joy to mankind at the same time
Through Jesus, salvation for us sinners - the greatest gift in our existence, by God's grace !!! Hallelujah !!
Wow.. the Mormon Tabernacle choir has always taken my breath away!
Sat in the mormon tabernacle in salt lake city with the choir and organ and it was awesome
Jan.20th 2021. Everyone in America should listen to this today......
Doesn't matter how long it's been
This song is seared into the memories of people who sang it 😌
Without a doubt.. my college oratorio choir performed Handel’s Messiah in 1975 (1st. Alto here!) and I remember it like it was yesterday.
When I was in pre-med at the University of Utah, I also had a job at a hotel across from Temple Square…which has the “Tab” choir. Thursday mornings were full practice. So I would sit and listen….”Ordinary looking” folks would walk in, chatting and laughing. Then with one voice and the powerful pipe organ, music and voices would join as one.

There will never be a celebration as great as Christmas in the world💯💯💯 what a beautiful song 🌹
Easter Sunday 2024 🇬🇧
I have never heard such a high quality level . This is a miracle of perfection. I am not a mormon but I bless you all for this gift.
The mighty god!
I have always loved this song it gives me peace
He is King of Kings!!!

Very synchronized...Is good to serve the Lord💕
I’m blessed and touched by watching this for a moment🥹
Ififintu fisusuma Sana, we kwimba ukusuma busakabusaka, ishina lya kwa Lesa lilumbanishiwe. Amen
This brings uncontrollable tears of joy to my eyes. Fall on your knees and rejoice, we are saved!
Me too!
It does
Amen
AMEN. GOD IS GOOD✝️
FOREVER and Ever, you are God! King of all kings!! Your Kingdom REIGNETH Forever, and ever, and ever! HALLELUJAH!!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir knocks it out of the park every time! Nobody does it better. ❤❤❤
God Bless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.🙏
"I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself."
The words of George Frideric Handel just as he had finished composing the Hallelujah Chorus, his face awash with tears.
Genial
That perfectly describes what I imagined the creator of this magnificent paean would behold upon it's completion. Wonderful that it's true.
Alleluia
Divino
...and in only 24 days.
My heart jump from joy. When I listen this song. 💓💓💓👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Heavenly music has descended on earth. HALLELUJAH INDEED
This song plays in my head too, and slways will i sang it first in a performance in 1966!
My spirit leaps every time I hear this. Praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Phenomenal
The Sound of the voice and Instruments it s Powerfull !❤
