WHAT IS THIS MESSIAH-SING ANYWAY?
It’s like a hymn-sing, only to music by Handel. Handel’s Messiah is a cantata which tells the story of humankinds’ redemption by our Saviour using selected scripture from the Old & New Testaments set to up-lifting and memorable music. The very famous “Hallelujah Chorus” is part of Handel’s Messiah. There are several interesting things which make this church’s Messiah-Sing unique. Every person who attends is welcome to sing as much or as little as they feel comfortable – even parts which are supposed to be sung by a soloist. (There aren’t any featured soloists). We don’t rehearse or stop and “correct” anything – we just sing, and we sing almost the whole oratorio. Plus, there is a wonderful time of fellowship and refreshment during the 45-minute intermission. It has to be experienced. Come and bring someone with you!
