“For Unto Us a Child Is Born” (from Handel’s Messiah) - Sir Andrew Davis and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra
I didn’t mention this on Tumblr, but Saturday I went to a Messiah sing-along at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. The soloists were from the LA Master’s Choir. About 2,000 people in attendance…most of them singing the chorus pieces, myself included - which was, interesting at certain parts! (Goal for next year: learn how to sing and read music better, haha.)
Singing the Hallelujah chorus with so many people…just floored me. We ended up singing it three times.
After the concert, in the lobby, people were singing Christmas carols too, so we joined in. Singing Silent Night, Joy to the World, and O Come All Ye Faithful…in public, with strangers, in Los Angeles!
It was incredibly beautiful, and I will be doing it every Christmas I possibly can.
