I am now 54 and have played this at Orchestra on the viola in a concert. A Christian of long-standing and possessing perfect pitch, it helps me appreciate it even more!
Moves me to tears, as well. I'm 53 and have been listening since childhood, also. Thank the gods for a grandmother who loved music with all of her heart. I wish you, all who see this, and the world, PEACE. 🕊️
Same. I will be turning 63 next year. I have heard this wonderful composition since I was a child and each time I am moved to tears. Marvellous! Glory to God!
It does me the same way. I am a grown man and probably one of the toughest Hombres you would ever meet, and every time I hear this I get choked up and dewy-eyed.
I read his biography years ago, it was very fascinating. His father did everything he could to stop him from becoming a musician, but his aunt and mother supported him at an early age.
BRAVO to all who helped bring the MESSIAH to the world. Of all of the great masters of music I do believe GOD has a special place in HIS heart for Herr Handle. Between Messiah and Judas Macabees, I can not think of any great master who praised GOD then and now. Thank You A Most Blessed Christmas to all and a most Happy Chanuka to our Hebrew friends. Remember folks: JESUS was born a JEW, Raised as a JEW, Taught the TORAH, Lived and Breathed as a JEW, DIED for all of us as a JEW. I stand with JESUS and I stand with the Children of ISRAEL. Pax+
As a child this song had no appeal, even though I was raised in the church. But as an adult, it brings tears my eyes. It lifts me from the trench. Thank you, Jesus, for Handel.
I agree 100%! He is my best friend, the total and unselfish sacrifice, without Him there is NO hope for tomorrow in this world we live in now and He is MORE than Wonderful. He is our all in all!!! I can't live without Him, I tried at times when I was stupid and young. But I was risking my soul and wasn't happy. I was just running around and running away from God. I was caught by a merciful God who I finally stopped and surrendered to. I thank God today for His grace, mercy and love. Here at Christmas, let Him reach out to you. He will save you, love you and welcome you with open arms!
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government Shall be upon His shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9: 6)
When you have Jesus, you have peace with God. "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." - Romans 5:1
John, true on one level. However, the lost can find eternal security & peace-on-earth when (through work of the Holy Spirit) accepting Jesus as their "Lord and Saviour". Can you find time to search for the Truth? I hope you do
"and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace"
As a child my parents filled our home with this timeless piece of music. My dad believes this is the music that will accompany Christ during his second coming. Now that I'm older, I think my dad is right. Thanks mom and dad.
My father visited my wife and me in London 30 years ago. He decided to take us to see Fidelio at Covent Garden. He bought the best seats available, which were the closest seats to the conductor, Colin Davis. It was unforgettable to sit so close and hear him singing and humming along, as he's doing in this video.
Thomas Kop I agree with you, but the exciting thing to me about such works is that as wonderful as they are to our earthly ears they will sound like so much rubbish compared to what God has prepared for His children in His kingdom.
Glory to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ! Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world...Who is this King of Glory that He would die for his enemies and make them his friends?! All hail the power of Jesus name! Let Angels prostrate fall before him...Bring forth the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all...
Yes, let us glorify our Lord Jesus Christ and give Him the glory that is due to His name, for all will bend their knees and confess that He is Lord of all.
Here we are in 2020, the worst year thus far for most of the world. I cannot imagine living without the Blessed Hope of Jesus the Messiah! The Hope of the world! The Prince of Peace! Wonderful Counselor! Hallelujah! Glory to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽✝️
No one can take away any of our deeds. Only us, people can redeem what we've done to our brothers and sisters. We aren't children anymore who will be directed by their Parents. Christ lives in everyone of us and Jesus is long dead. Grow up people!
While in choir when I sung this, never knew the meaning. Only after I am saved by Jesus my eyes and heart opened. Now I know what it means "For unto us a child is born" looking every moment to reign with Him.
SO TRUE Mathew Kurian...it happened to me 20+years ago...i was convicted by The Holy Spirit, then The Dear LORD Yeshua/Jesus Saved a wretch like me...Amazing Grace how can it be that You my KING would die for me. He is not a baby any longer....He is the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS...and He Will be Returning Amen
@@caspervanelli6502 Casper, it takes on a whole different meaning when you have been born again. Jesus fought religion while on this earth. He wants a relationship with you because you were put on this earth to fulfill your destiny which He put inside you. Merry Christmas and I pray you will open your heart to Him and understand the purpose of your life.
100% God 100% man... The glorious doctrine that systematically arrives at this blessed truth is called the Hypostatic Union. More than a decade later I still can't comprehend that the creator and sustainer of the universe has reconciled Himself unto me. My Redeemer lives ! He is risen !
Amen ! Eternally with the Father and Spirit, begotten fully man, to live a 100% righteous life to be accredited to US, died under condemnation and alienation from the Father as if He were us, FOR US, then rose as a first-fruits of the resurrection ( unlike others such as Lazzerous, who still had only their usual earthly bodies and still had to die again), a sign of God's promise of such being sure and true, and ascending to the right hand of the Father, to forever be our High Priest ( and ONLY needed priest) to intercede for all who've accepted this trade ! Trade of HIS life and HIS payment in death, for ours ! Still in these bodies, still on this earth, we still sin, but when we accept this trade, surrender ourselves to our Creator, redeemer, King, we are free from being a slave to sin, and definitely free from it's penalty ! Are no longer wandering alone in the universe, but are Sons and Daughters of the Most High, Great " I AM " ! Even tho these bodies still die, WE live, HAVE eternal life in and with Him, starting NOW ! " Oh, death - where is your sting ? Oh, hell, where is your victory ? " !!!! Hallelujah ! See y'all on the other side, amen ? Even so, come soon, LORD ( YHWH) Jesus !
Every single day is Christmas Day for believers in our Lord JesusChrist. He came into this world as one of us but when He returns he shall come back as the Lion of Judah. The King of Kings. The everlasting King.
Love this one. I'm not that religious, but I'd love to be part of a choir to sing such wonderful songs! I'm always crying tears of joy while listening. So overwhelming. Love it.
You’re so awesome @Tessalina!! You are so valuable to our King, Jesus! He created you for His pleasure; He created you to love you! He wants you to know Him!! Run to Him:) Run to the one who loves you without cease!! Jesus never created religion, man did. He is by no means religion, He is the ^^^^^ *precisely what the song reveals Him to be and infinitely more* He became a man in order to give His life to get rid of the sin that separated you from a relationship with the Father, so that you could know Him more and become like Him in this life and be a shining light that glorifies Him in everything you do, everywhere you go, and everyone that sees your life set apart unto Him and utterly changed in to His nature! His nature that He has called you to and *created* you for can only be found in a love relationship with the One who IS love. He has called you to everything that He is: love, joy, kindness, peace, self-control, faithfulness, gentleness, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, and humility. He longs for you…He longs for His daughter❤️
@awrote the words are text from Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be callèd Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
yes--a composition obviously divinely inspired! the Holy Spirit visited Handel in those 21 one days of this spiritual/musical masterpiece...what a gift of our faith in song!
@@Herrvonritter Commonly translated as Jesus. If we're being specific His given name was likely Yehoshua, or Joshua. Blessed Be His Name and Blessed Be Jesus, truly God and Man.
Agreed!....''There is none like unto Thee, O LORD; Thou art Great and Thy Name is Great in Might.'' Jeremiah 10:6 JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Isn’t that the truth?!! My father directed the Messiah for over 40 yrs in Muskogee Ok and this piece never fails to make me weep. Powerful and eternal.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6
No Isaiah did not predict the birth of Jesus! That is a prophesy that has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus 700 years later but with an immediate situation facing the King of Judea.
I should say God fills me with the Holy Spirit...so beautiful words taken from God's word...hope you all see God's love for you every day...thank you Jesus Christ for loving us so much
The entire oratorio written in 23 days. Most couldn’t write this tiny piece of it in 23 days. the “sheet music” for Messiah for voice alone is 252 pages. Now add to that parts for the oboe, timpani, trumpet, and of course those all-important strings....all written in 23 days. then to make it not-so-arguably the greatest piece of music ever written, well that’s supernatural.
I am currently practicing this song with my other fellow choir members. We are around 13-17 years old. Will participate in Messiah Concert in a few months. So very excited!! 😆
Greetings from South Africa. This is Timeless. I sang soprano at our high school choir. This is a powerful rendition. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen this classic mmmm....❤
This song brings back childhood memories. The goal was to join the choir and sing this song when I was younger. I am so happy that reading Isaiah 9:6 brought me here.
It was handed down that G.F. Händel saw the divine heaven opened with the holy trinity on the thrown during his composition of this wonderful and awesome masterpiece
Never heard that story but he'll always believed that it was holy Spirit given to him! So that makes it even more special to know this side of it❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
I am eternally grateful for this wonderful piece of music performed by such unbelievably amazing artists. It moves me to tears every time I hear it and the joyous sound resonates in my ears after it's done. Bravo, Bravo Bravo!
I have heard, many times, and performed The Messiah in concert. This is my favorite tempo and performance of all. I was a flute performance major. I thank God for Jesus, and that He is everything that He said He is.
" For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." ~Isaiah 9:6-7
And of course the name jesus had only been around for about 120 yrs at this time ... totally corrupting the Name of Messiah which is Yahusha = Yahuah is salvation ...which again was corrupted to Lord ... HalleluYah or Praise Yahuah :) Born of the tribe of Yahuda
If you are one of the 3700 denominations of christians, or one of the 780 catholic denominations, or another religion that believes in what you just stated, yes also, Pu-Raise the Lawrd!
I miss my dad...I gave him a CD with this song and many others on it...he died not long after... every time I hear these songs...I listen for voices that sound like my dad...he sang in the choir of our church...he was so awesome...kind, gentle, intelligent, elegant, every morning he made us breakfast, he took care of our yard (over 5 acres!!), he dressed impecabbly because he was a businessman, he never cursed, never spoke an unkind word about anyone..(his worst expletives were 'oh horseapples' ...i miss you dad..you were the best of the best man I could ever want for a father...
We are born separated from our heavenly father but through Christ we are brought back together with Him and assured to spend eternity with God in heaven.When we turn from out sins and accept Christ as savior then we are born again spiritually as children of God. This is the message. :)
Handel composed "Messiah" and scored all the parts for the full orchestra, soloists and choir in twenty days. If that isn't an example of Divine inspiration, I really can't imagine what would be.
@@roberthudson1959That troll thinks that by writing this he is going to belittle Handel lol words only from someone empty and immature. Beethoven's favorite composer was Handel, and mine too 😊
Who else came back to watch in December 2024
me
Me. :)
Count me in!
Merry Christmas ✨
Yo mismo
Tears I have listening to the Messiah since I was a little girl I will be 63
Age 64 here. It is still powerful to me as well.
I am now 54 and have played this at Orchestra on the viola in a concert. A Christian of long-standing and possessing perfect pitch, it helps me appreciate it even more!
Moves me to tears, as well. I'm 53 and have been listening since childhood, also. Thank the gods for a grandmother who loved music with all of her heart. I wish you, all who see this, and the world, PEACE. 🕊️
Same. I will be turning 63 next year. I have heard this wonderful composition since I was a child and each time I am moved to tears. Marvellous! Glory to God!
I’m here December 2024! What a classical!🥹❤❤
Here in 2024! Classic! Never gets old.
Whenever I hear this music, it sets tears in my eyes. Händel was one of the best composer ever.
This song was holy Spirit given❤
It does me the same way. I am a grown man and probably one of the toughest Hombres you would ever meet, and every time I hear this I get choked up and dewy-eyed.
My favorite also!
Me too

Thank You
A Most Blessed Christmas to all and a most Happy Chanuka to our Hebrew friends.

JESUS was born a JEW, Raised as a JEW, Taught the TORAH, Lived and Breathed as a JEW, DIED for all of us as a JEW.

I am convinced that Christianity is the best thing to have happened to humanity. GOD BLESS.
Lol genocide?
Christianity the best thing happened? have you lost your common sense?,
I couldn't agree more. ❤
lol
A mixed blessing.
Every day, every night, Jesus Christ the LORD is my hope, my friend, my Savior. HE IS WONDERFUL
I agree 100%! He is my best friend, the total and unselfish sacrifice, without Him there is NO hope for tomorrow in this world we live in now and He is MORE than Wonderful. He is our all in all!!!

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government
Shall be upon His shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

Behind our mental exercise we call belief is our faith in God, for we walk by faith not by sight in God.
Yes, Mauro... Amem. Amem
the government
Shall be upon His shoulder, Amen.
Yes, He Is! And... He Is Alive. Rejoice! He Is here!
@@vencheock4233 And... if you see Him, will you walk to Him by sight? Blessed is who can’t see but still “believe”, not by faith alone.
☀️❤️
"A son is given"- The only begotten Son of God! Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace! Amen!
Oh, that's who they are singing about, is it? I would never have guessed. I suggest you read and reflect on Matthew 6:1-6.
When you have Jesus, you have peace with God.
"Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." - Romans 5:1
God be praised for ever and ever for His eternal mercy upon us! Jesus Christ, given child, we love you!
Amen
You do not need to be a Christian to appreciate this great musical achievement.
It helps though ;)
John, true on one level. However, the lost can find eternal security & peace-on-earth when (through work of the Holy Spirit) accepting Jesus as their "Lord and Saviour". Can you find time to search for the Truth? I hope you do
How stupid. So you can say as well that you don't need to know the language.
Yeah
True, but you can't fully appreciate it unless you are Christian.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” (Isaiah 9:6)

This is absolutely a GENIUS composition, I'd call it divine.
From Monteverdi to Mozart, the Haydn brothers, Beethoven, and Hummel, the Baroque and the Classical periods have the very best sacred music.
Juan Jose Morales Yes. Monteverdi - Quid Petis O Fili
Most will agree w you. Handel wrote it with white heat
Thomas Kop I agree with you, but the exciting thing to me about such works is that as wonderful as they are to our earthly ears they will sound like so much rubbish compared to what God has prepared for His children in His kingdom.
I can't confirm it, but I've been told it's divinely inspired and when he completed the works, he was converted...is it true?
Absolutely sublime!!. The Messiah is one of my favorite works of all time. Thank you George Frideric Handel for leaving us such a wonderful work.
Yes, sublime! ❤❤❤❤
And his name shall be called:
Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace! AMEN!
If these are to be the titles of Jesus Christ then it ought to be plain to anyone with common sense that Jesus must be DIETY. HE IS GOD!
Glory to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ! Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world...Who is this King of Glory that He would die for his enemies and make them his friends?! All hail the power of Jesus name!

Ah, but we Christians get an extra thrill of joy and awe, knowing that this a hymn of praise to the wonderful appearance of the living God amongst us.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. 🎉

Mine too !
This is heavenly....Celebrating King Jesus all the way!!!
Unto us a Son is Given
One of the greatest operas ever written.
Hail to the King!

I put this on my FB page every Christmas morning.
R.I.P. Sir Colin Davis. Thank for sharing your wonderful talents with the world.
Sir Colin Davis brought back the original Baroque rendition of MESSIAH. Exquisite.
Sir Colin Davis is one of my favourit conductors! God Bless you Maestro!!
I like that he sings along, I can actually hear him in places
These words are TRUE! He, Jesus, is our only salvation.
G.F. Handel is the greatest musician ever to have walked on earth surface.
Love this one.
I'm not that religious, but I'd love to be part of a choir to sing such wonderful songs! I'm always crying tears of joy while listening. So overwhelming. Love it.
It's divinely inspired. Your soul feels it.
You’re so awesome @Tessalina!! You are so valuable to our King, Jesus! He created you for His pleasure; He created you to love you! He wants you to know Him!! Run to Him:) Run to the one who loves you without cease!! Jesus never created religion, man did.

His nature that He has called you to and *created* you for can only be found in a love relationship with the One who IS love. He has called you to everything that He is: love, joy, kindness, peace, self-control, faithfulness, gentleness, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, and humility. He longs for you…He longs for His daughter❤️
God made music for worship you are feeling the Holy Spirit move you and pull you closer to himself. That’s a beautiful thing! 💕
This classic is excellently performed Well Done Am sure the Angels too are happy and rejoicing in Heaven at the birth of this Great Messiah
Same. You don't need to believe in fantasy to appreciate the incredible musical quality of Handel's arrangements, and the skill of the performers.
Praise the Lord God for sending his son to redeem his people from their sins!
Having my coffee and enjoying this beautiful music over and over again on this wonderful Christmas morning. Peace to all !!!
Whatever anyone else may be celebrating this time of year, or may have celebrated in the past, to me THIS is what it's all about!!

Absolutely Beautiful Music Handel Was Spiritually Inspired by God When He Composed the Messiah and It Is Eternal! 🎄🎇🎄
I am a complete atheist but it does not stop me appreciating beautiful music.
What do you mean by beautiful ?
Wonderful Counselor
the Mighty God
the Everlasting Father
the Prince of Peace

Is it "the Mighty God" or "Almighty God"? I just need clarification; I always thought it was the second one...
Cleric it is “the mighty God“. Sang this lovely piece just yesterday 😍🎼🎶
Ah, thank you.
the mighty LORD, fyi
Stunning.. Brought tears to my eyes. The Mighty God has blessed you brilliant singers and musicians.

It is amazing how prophets like Isaiah, who lived around 700 years before Jesus, were able to prophesy exactly what would happen.
No Isaiah did not predict the birth of Jesus! That is a prophesy that has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus 700 years later but with an immediate situation facing the King of Judea.
@@markhodges5754 It is about Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you Eternal mercy through Jesus Christ the Messiah: by his obedience hist death and resurrection
I should say God fills me with the Holy Spirit...so beautiful words taken from God's word...hope you all see God's love for you every day...thank you Jesus Christ for loving us so much
I love how the conductor looks so relaxed, like this job is second nature to him
Love the dynamic between male and female voices. The harmony when they combine is amazing.
The entire oratorio written in 23 days. Most couldn’t write this tiny piece of it in 23 days. the “sheet music” for Messiah for voice alone is 252 pages. Now add to that parts for the oboe, timpani, trumpet, and of course those all-important strings....all written in 23 days. then to make it not-so-arguably the greatest piece of music ever written, well that’s supernatural.
Please do you have any idea how I could get the sheet music for the strings

Keep up the good work!
Why is your age nessicary?
How did it go?
Ethereal violins, voices on high; have I died and gone to heaven? Thank you LSO - magnificent!
This is, by far, one of the best versions for one of the greatest moments in Messiah. Bravo, simply bravo!
We sang this in school choir and competed all the way to the top most level in Kenya Music Festival Competitions 🎉
This Orchestra makes Isaiah 9:6 come alive. Excellent!!
Handel’s Messiah
I grew up listening to this.
Can I just say it is the Christ in Christianity that is the best thing that has happened to humanity
Greetings from South Africa. This is Timeless. I sang soprano at our high school choir. This is a powerful rendition. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen this classic mmmm....❤
i get goosebumps all over my body whenever i listen to this song ❤
Then you must surely know God!
T Green Yeah sure :) Merry Christmas!! ^^
Me too guy... that's unexplicable and simply fantastic.💪🏻💚
As an atheist i will say this is DIVINE!!

Repent, and pray to Him for understanding, and salvation.
Jesus Christ will save you from destruction if you let him.
This music makes me feel as though, I've been raptured, into the presence, of the Lord Jesus.
This song brings back childhood memories. The goal was to join the choir and sing this song when I was younger. I am so happy that reading Isaiah 9:6 brought me here.
It was handed down that G.F. Händel saw the divine heaven opened with the holy trinity on the thrown during his composition of this wonderful and awesome masterpiece
Never heard that story but he'll always believed that it was holy Spirit given to him! So that makes it even more special to know this side of it❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
As someone who sung this work for twenty years including Carnegie, i cannot stress how this is perfection.
Absolutely beautiful! Handel's Messiah is a part of my family Christmas tradition
I found in Hebrew and it is beautiful in the original too
Wow... Lovely
I am eternally grateful for this wonderful piece of music performed by such unbelievably amazing artists. It moves me to tears every time I hear it and the joyous sound resonates in my ears after it's done.
Bravo, Bravo Bravo!
There is only one word and it's genius. Maybe miraculous too, truly a gift from God to us all through Handel.
Hello Regina
I have heard, many times, and performed The Messiah in concert. This is my favorite tempo and performance of all. I was a flute performance major. I thank God for Jesus, and that He is everything that He said He is.
A magnificent aria. It makes me cry Christmas tears, not sorrowfully but because it's so moving, truly spiritual.
" For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." ~Isaiah 9:6-7
This is a fine choir. The alto section is incredible!

"...devastatingly beautiful..."

Merry Christmas!! 🎄
Jesus is the King, Savior, and God.
Yes, thank God for Handel.
And of course the name jesus had only been around for about 120 yrs at this time ... totally corrupting the Name of Messiah which is Yahusha = Yahuah is salvation ...which again was corrupted to Lord ... HalleluYah or Praise Yahuah :) Born of the tribe of Yahuda
missing the point here
If you are one of the 3700 denominations of christians, or one of the 780 catholic denominations, or another religion that believes in what you just stated, yes also, Pu-Raise the Lawrd!
You are confused,God has not been born nor has he given birth to,he is one and alone.
There are so many fine choruses in Messiah, but this one may be my favourite!
Holy Spirt is the most amazing gift. Thank you God you are my world 🌎
I miss my dad...I gave him a CD with this song and many others on it...he died not long after...
every time I hear these songs...I listen for voices that sound like my dad...he sang in the choir of our church...he was so awesome...kind, gentle, intelligent, elegant, every morning he made us breakfast, he took care of our yard (over 5 acres!!), he dressed impecabbly because he was a businessman, he never cursed, never spoke an unkind word about anyone..(his worst expletives were 'oh horseapples' ...i miss you dad..you were the best of the best man I could ever want for a father...
IrishnPNW may the Holy Spirit of God comfort you as you grieve. Peace to you.
Praise the Lord! Such a beautiful song,voices...G.F Handel's identity forever.
We are born separated from our heavenly father but through Christ we are brought back together with Him and assured to spend eternity with God in heaven.When we turn from out sins and accept Christ as savior then we are born again spiritually as children of God. This is the message. :)
Handel composed "Messiah" and scored all the parts for the full orchestra, soloists and choir in
twenty days. If that isn't an example of Divine inspiration, I really can't imagine what would be.
God made the world in six days and on the seventh he said, "Oh no what have I done?"
Glory to God for all things 🙏🏻
I am convinced that Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven are the greatest gift given to music 🎵!
Strange remark on a video of another composer's work. Was an insult intended?
Of course. Trolls abound.@@roberthudson1959
@@roberthudson1959That troll thinks that by writing this he is going to belittle Handel lol words only from someone empty and immature. Beethoven's favorite composer was Handel, and mine too 😊
Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!
Amen!!! 🙏🏼❤️

And to every atheist who loves this as well!!!
