  • The Royal Choral Society has performed Handel's Messiah on Good Friday at the Royal Albert Hall every year since 1876, except during the London Blitz in 1940/41. The RCS filmed their performance on 6 April 2012 by kind permission of the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This clip features the final two movements, Worthy is the Lamb and the Amen Chorus, with the choir performing under the baton of their Music Director Richard Cooke. Students from the City of Lodon School for Girls joined the choir for this performance.
    The footage was edited and posted here in 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused the cancellation of the 144th Good Friday Messiah on Friday 10 April 2020.
    For further information on forthcoming RCS concerts please see www.royalchoralsociety.co.uk.

    I sang soprano in a performance of the Messiah at the Free Trade Hall Manchester in England in 1962 when I was 19 and unsaved. At 71 I have lived in CHRIST for 26 years and have a worldwide teaching ministry on Facebook for 18 years and onwards. Blessing and honour, glory and power be unto Him that sits upon the throne and unto the Lamb ❤ Amen!

      YES, they sing about the "Lamb of God" - Jesus Christ - who has come to die on the cross as God's sacrifice for my and your sins - and to rise from the dead to conquer death and release forgiveness and eternal life to you - if you believe and receive Him with simple but sincere prayer. Invite Jesus / Isa into your heart and experience your glorious salvation - He loves you so much...

    Magnificent. A choral trilogy. "Whorty is the Lamb", a majestic prelude, "Blessing and honor", a triumphant fugue and "Amen", a sublime fugue ... the subject is divided, subdivided, inverted, enriched with counter-subjects and subordinated to many ingenious and latent purposes of harmony, melody and imitation.

    They sing this every Christmas in Tokyo, students from Ueno's Music University. It is so moving to hear the perfection of their performance - not to say that this performance by adults is not amazing. But a real honouring of Yahweh even in a country where there are few Christian churches is very moving.

      I have too, and listening to this it's hard to understand how I managed. It took months of work and of course a strong and talented grpoup of other people to make it possible, as is the case in many walks of life we assume are down to our own talents. As so often in life, great things are achieved only with the support of others, be they a few or in their hundreds.
      Having done it once (meaning tens of times) and listening to this, I feel I could walk back into a choir tomorrow and do this again in time for Christmas. Nonsense, of course.

    Revelation 5
    12. Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
    12. λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· Ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν ⸀καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
    12. 큰 음성으로 가로되 죽임을 당하신 어린 양이 능력과 부와 지혜와 힘과 존귀와 영광과 찬송을 받으시기에 합당하도다 하더라
    13. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
    13. καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς ⸀θαλάσσης, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ⸀πάντα, ἤκουσα λέγοντας· Τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ ⸂τῷ θρόνῳ⸃ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν ⸀αἰώνων.
    13. 내가 또 들으니 하늘 위에와 땅 위에와 땅 아래와 바다 위에와 또 그 가운데 모든 만물이 가로되 보좌에 앉으신 이와 어린 양에게 찬송과 존귀와 영광과 능력을 세세토록 돌릴찌어다 하니
    14. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
    14. καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα ⸀ἔλεγον· Ἀμήν. καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
    14. 네 생물이 가로되 아멘 하고 장로들은 엎드려 경배하더라 To God Alone Be All The Glory. Praise the Lord King Jesus Christ.

    Absolutely beautiful but it is a SACRILEGE to interrupt Worthy is the Lamb for a 5 second ad about nonsense before the Amen chorus. I don’t expect RUclips to know or understand that but to put it in terms they can understand, would you play heartbreaker without living loving maid? Or we will rock you without we are the champions? Okay then.

Le choeur final mené avec plus de respect et de pondération permet de goûter enfin à la magnificence de cette oeuvre gigantesque. Peut-être eut-il mieux valu demander à un orchestre Irlandais de le jouer et de le respecter davantage puisque c'est à Dublin qu'elle a été créée...Isn't it?

    I prefer J.S. Bach for giant works like this. The chromaticism, fugal intricacies and counterpoint that man uses is totally out of this world. Just hear "Herr Unser Herrscher" ("The Lord Our Ruler") from the St. John Passion and, yes, it feels like it was written in 1975 and not in 1725. It's that incredibly advanced. But for sheer majesty and sonority of sound, you can't go wrong with Handel. Not as complex, but just as powerful.

    The Amen is too slow. Wow. And the tempo keeps varying. The musicians know intuitively it is too slow. But the conductor doesn't. Typical. And it killed the entire momentum of what came before it. It is marked "Allegro moderato" in the score. This is nowhere near any kind of allegro.
