Billy Graham came to our town on one of his revival tours. My mother sang with that Choir and later sang with our city's choir. I think I was 7 or so when Mother and the rest of the choir put on Handel's Messiah and Dad took me while Mom was up there singing.I thank God for my parents who loved me enough to show me the way to salvation..
Maybe the reason we get chills when we hear them is because they are not just singing a song, they are bearing their testimonies of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Yes indeed. He was a beautiful spirit. He is still with me in spirit to this day and guided my mom with a wonderful ability to play the piano as well. She was blessed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
When I was young I joined father Smith's choir to sing this beautiful song.Now I am already old.I Always feel proud everytime I listen to this song.Praise the Lord Jesus !
And his story is from notes, that when he came to the now famous Halleluhia Chorus that it was as if " the heavens opened" and he fell on his face worshipping
This IS THE BEST choir on earth!! No other choir sings like the Mormons. They deserve a standing ovation every single time!!!! And their orchestra ties in perfectly too!!!
This performance is absolutely beautiful. I'm a Catholic yes, we've tried this at the local church level and I can tell you guy2, this choir is top notch ❤❤
I'm more atheistic but I'm hoping nowadays that there is something like that. Something divine to lead us back to better days. This song certainly describe something wonderful coming to the world peace and brotherhood.
me too i need to hear the words!! loud and clear I lost a girl.. she is of the living dead.. this brings me hope i listen to it daily! pls pray for me. better yet my daughters soul
Simply wonderful-- the church realized that choral and orchestral mastery would bring not only attendance but committed membership realizing reaching holiness and sanctity required such greatness
Just do it. My church choir performed the Messiah several years ago along with an orchestra. There is just something about those German composers that never fails to amaze me.
I am amazed that the orchestra is not paid. In Canada (Toronto) the Mendelssohn is not paid, but the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is. My deepest respect and gratitude to these musicians for donating their professional skills and time to the Church. My heart felt prayers and thanks go out to you. A hundred thousand blessings to you all.
I was a chorister for 31 years and sang the great "Messiah" many times during that time. I considered it a privilege to be able to sing that kind of music. I never took a dime for it, nor wanted to, and I know most chorister feel the same way.
Just join ANY choir that sings this music - the rewards are immeasurable. I'm 80 next year and since my teens I have never not been a member of some choral ensemble or another - it makes life so full - try it!
Bravo...Bravissimo...Formidabile e Maestoso...Il coro piu bello del mondo per lodare Dio, il nostro Padre celeste e Gesu Cristo il redentore del mondo... Tantissime Benedizzioni a tutti...Merci...CIAO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🙏🙏🙏👨👩👧👦🐏💥💯
That's my 5th great grandpa! I am so honored to be part of his bloodline. :-) God Bless him... Mom use to play his music A LOT... on the piano~ She was magnificiant as well.... LOVE HIS MUSIC!
Man, I just recently discovered that I love this song! Such a great beat, at times amazingly fast and intricate (those violins!), and the melody is so deeply joyful and fitting for the subject of Jesus Christ!
That so many singers could coordinate their voices so exactly such that you hear each and every note of the trills and arpeggios is amazing and a tribute to the greatness of this choir.
This is an outstanding professional choir in which the voices are distinct clear and wordings well pronounced 👏 Indeed this classical music 🎶 a real master piece 👏
This is a sublime rendition of this piece. Many thanks to the choir, orchestra, and everyone else who must have put in hundreds (thousands?) of hours of time to prepare for this wonderful musical experience.
Handel knew that Christmas is all about Joy! And You read the holy Bible every individual who heard or saw the Child was joyful! The Shepherds, the 3 kings ..etc.
Maybe it's the 100th time I'm listening to this song. The choir ❤is marvelous, the orchestra 😊🎉is just out of this world. Music is life unto us. Indeed unto us child is born 😊We are grateful ❤
Beautiful and highly moving. Handel is one of my favorite composers. As someone else wrote, I believe that he was Divinely inspired. Gloria and I once went to a sing-along Messiah. We had the score to look at too. This was of the best experiences that we ever had. ❤❤❤❤
I love this Choir, they always make me reflect on what joy we should expect in the Celestial Heavens after we must have kept to the Covenants we made with our Father in Heaven! This is another wonderful way this choir proclaims the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in whose church this choir comes from! What a wonderful privileged to always hear and watch them sing!
For unto us a child is born To us a son is giv'n The government shall rest on him Th' anointed one from heav'n His name is Wonderful Counselor The Mighty God is he The Everlasting Father The humble Prince of Peace The increase of his government And peace shall never end He'll reign on David's ancient throne As ruler of all men Upheld with justice and righteousness Forever his kingdom will last The zeal of the Lord God Most High Will bring these things to pass Lord Jesus, come now and reign in me Be Lord of my life this hour Come be my Counselor and my God My source of wisdom and power Watch o'er me with your Father care My heart and my mind, fill with peace I worship you, my Lord and King My praise will never cease
Hands down, this atheist's favorite non-secular Christmas piece. (With the lovely and moving: _Oh, Holy Night_ coming in a, somewhat distant, runner up.)

@barbarafarnsworth,4800: thank you.your words describe exactly how I feel
God bless you.
Yes indeed. He was a beautiful spirit. He is still with me in spirit to this day and guided my mom with a wonderful ability to play the piano as well. She was blessed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
BRAVO you said that so well.
I don't care what your personal faith is, you have to admit that this is absolutely beautiful.. I get chills every time I listen to it!
God BLESS us❤️❤️❤️ this literally feels like we are experiencing a beautiful glimpse of heaven’s joy and pure love❤️❤️❤️ chills all over
Me too.
Yes, I agree with original comment!
I'm Jewish and LOVE Handel's Messiah. To me, it Praises the eternal God, creator of us all
When I was young I joined father Smith's choir to sing this beautiful song.Now I am already old.I Always feel proud everytime I listen to this song.Praise the Lord Jesus !
Handel composed the entire Messiah in 23 or 24 days. I absolutely believe he was Divinely inspired.
And his story is from notes, that when he came to the now famous Halleluhia Chorus that it was as if " the heavens opened" and he fell on his face worshipping
One of my most favorite songs sung by my most favorite choir. Thank you so much Tabernacle Choir.
I'm proud to be a member of the Church of latter Day Saints baptized October 2019
Congratulations...
Welcome Sister ❤
This IS THE BEST choir on earth!! No other choir sings like the Mormons. They deserve a standing ovation every single time!!!! And their orchestra ties in perfectly too!!!
Definitely 🎉
Amen
Joy to the World! Christ was born and is Risen! He sits on His heavenly throne and invites all to come unto Him!
A must at midnight of Christmas Eve … these words by Isaiah bring so much peace and strength to my heart.
1208 am or Christmas Eve where I am at. Merry Christmas
This performance is absolutely beautiful. I'm a Catholic yes, we've tried this at the local church level and I can tell you guy2, this choir is top notch ❤❤

Even I'm catholic but I must recognize you are an excellent Choir The Best of Best!!!!! Congratulations from Monterrey Mexico

The Messiah is also in the Catholic and Islamic faiths.
Composed in 1741, this mighty affirmation of all blessings still gives us hope for humanity.
Yes, i do agree with you Fernando Martínez.
Best of best indeed!
Simply wonderful-- the church realized that choral and orchestral mastery would bring not only attendance but committed membership realizing reaching holiness and sanctity required such greatness
I look forward to singing in this choir one day🙏🏽
Just do it. My church choir performed the Messiah several years ago along with an orchestra. There is just something about those German composers that never fails to amaze me.
G F Handel's Music is immortal and inspirational!!!
How impactful,Soul lifting and Christ exalting are these classicals!!!!
I am amazed that the orchestra is not paid. In Canada (Toronto) the Mendelssohn is not paid, but the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is.

It's all part of worship.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Praise the Lord Jesus 😊😊😊😊😊😊
God bless the Tabernacle choir for their team work and readiness to serve the Lord🎹
How I wish I was a member of this choir, together praising God!!!
Just join ANY choir that sings this music - the rewards are immeasurable. I'm 80 next year and since my teens I have never not been a member of some choral ensemble or another - it makes life so full - try it!
This has been and will remain as one of my favorite pieces of all times..a true masterpiece inspired by God.
Oh it's just wonderful and is straight from the Bible
This choir is a gift from heaven!!!♥️

Il direttore d,orchestra sta dirigendo con degli angeli si è guadagnato una sedia in paradiso bravi tutti.
Man, I just recently discovered that I love this song! Such a great beat, at times amazingly fast and intricate (those violins!), and the melody is so deeply joyful and fitting for the subject of Jesus Christ!
Thy Kingdom come 🙋🏼♀️
A powerful performance to be sure! But let’s not forget the orchestra’s beauty and majesty contributing to this glorious masterpiece. 😉
That so many singers could coordinate their voices so exactly such that you hear each and every note of the trills and arpeggios is amazing and a tribute to the greatness of this choir.
This is choir music at its absolute best. Handel's best, perhaps, also.
It's a wonderful rendition. In heaven, where only singing shall be done, it will indeed be glorious. Will you be there?
This is an outstanding professional choir in which the voices are distinct clear and wordings well pronounced 👏 Indeed this classical music 🎶 a real master piece 👏
This is a sublime rendition of this piece. Many thanks to the choir, orchestra, and everyone else who must have put in hundreds (thousands?) of hours of time to prepare for this wonderful musical experience.
Handel was truly inspired.
Handel knew that Christmas is all about Joy! And You read the holy Bible every individual who heard or saw the Child was joyful! The Shepherds, the 3 kings ..etc.
God has given us beautiful voices to sing, and this is one Way to tell the world, the good news about a Lord Jesus Christ
Glory to God!👑
That is what it's ALL about.
An amazing and delightful performance by some 350 singers. I never tire of listening to you all. Thanks from Scotland.
this is the world's best choir
What about King's College Cambridge?
I totally agree with you all the way
Americas Choir
It is
Another of my fad's favorite hymns. I can hear him plaing it on the organ in my mind. RIP dad.
Perfectly done! And the singers are memorized!
This is one of the most beautifully performed pieces I've ever heard.

Beautiful and highly moving. Handel is one of my favorite composers. As someone else wrote, I believe that he was Divinely inspired. Gloria and I once went to a sing-along Messiah. We had the score to look at too. This was of the best experiences that we ever had. ❤❤❤❤

Transcends religious faiths..just beautiful music, gives me goosebumps lol..

Awesome 🌟 enjoying from 🇿🇲 Zambia
For unto us a child is born
To us a son is giv'n
The government shall rest on him
Th' anointed one from heav'n
His name is Wonderful Counselor
The Mighty God is he
The Everlasting Father
The humble Prince of Peace
The increase of his government
And peace shall never end
He'll reign on David's ancient throne
As ruler of all men
Upheld with justice and righteousness
Forever his kingdom will last
The zeal of the Lord God Most High
Will bring these things to pass
Lord Jesus, come now and reign in me
Be Lord of my life this hour
Come be my Counselor and my God
My source of wisdom and power
Watch o'er me with your Father care
My heart and my mind, fill with peace
I worship you, my Lord and King
My praise will never cease
Hands down, this atheist's favorite non-secular Christmas piece. (With the lovely and moving: _Oh, Holy Night_ coming in a, somewhat distant, runner up.)
My favorite Christmas song.

I love music. They are the best choir I have ever heard.
I've always loved your music. I especially loved that song you performed with Josh Groban, O Come, All Ye Faithful.
Greetings from Fort Portal Uganda. I love the MTC
brenda willand

Simply reminds me of my late mother with her cheerful face when sang
No doubt this one of the finest choir I've ever seen and heard.
