Händel: The people that walked in the darkness (Messiah, HWV 56)

[dis0guise]

I can sing this adequately... just. I do not have those stunning low notes, or the general beauty of voice -- or anywhere near the skill. The production is a bit surreal and sometimes seems too disconnected from the text, but musically this is superb.

Very beautiful, but what's the correct order of these videos? I want to figure out the meaning of the direction.

@Sieglinde84 There is another user on youtube that has the full performance and each video is numbered.

My favorite aria from this oratorio. Love the low notes on darkness and the high note on "have seen a great light" A beutiful interpretation of those words by Händel.

@HerrWarja It seems like word painting to me. The edgy conjunct melody seems to me to suggest the movements of someone stumbling or fumbling around in the dark.
