George Frederic Handel - 'Behold the Lamb of God' from "The Messiah"

[nezalrock]

la musica clasica es y sera siempre la mejor por los fieles de dios

[nezalrock]

es muy impactante tambien darse cuenta que en los conciertos en brandengurgo de bach las notas que dice cada instrumento hablan de dios siempre me gustaron y no me di cuenta hasta que cante las notas

[musicgoddess51]

Absolutely stunning. I wish more people my age would learn to appreciate this type of music.

[cquave11]

BorisGaquere slipknow would not exist without mozart...by the way, this is Handel not Mozart

[cquave11]

I tear up everytime i here this! Our church did this song for our christmas special...granted it was a volunteer choir so it didnt sound exactly like this. But the message it carried was still just as powerful

[TheLestat94]

@tantawi1992 Uh, they're like waaaaay after the Renaissance.

[Soapygold]

@SymphonyofSorrow Not sure how science is relevant here, but I agree nonetheless.

I sometimes imagine myself "a girl" back where time did not have the constraints it does today. I imagine a life of gratitude. Gratitude for life and love and lessons learned. We have yet to truly discover our potential as teh keepers of this Universe. Are we the keepers? I myself believe we are, as I believe we are the watchers over our childrens souls. This world and its place our are's to keep forever. Trust in yourself and whatever is written upon you, and we shall overcome great things.

[Lucrezia37]

I was singing Messiah in the college chorus. Every time when we would start this part, I could not fight tears. I've noticed that it was each and every time that I hardly could sing "behold the lamb of God". Since that time 30 years passed, I still can sing this part, but with the same sadness.

[joobaby69]

@SymphonyofSorrow I am having fun. Though I must bring this arousing debate to a hault. So I conclude with this rebuttal... I love you. <3

[inmufti]

I think it's a shame that music so beautiful and uplifting has been presented to us to enjoy and is then marred by ignorant comments ..but...welcome to Earth!

[joobaby69]

@SymphonyofSorrow though it may not have been more effective, it would have been more much to the point. And it's apparent that your intelligence is not for you took my remark as a compliment rather than what it was. I was not complimenting you, but alas I was insulting you due to your inefficient efforts to cease the "asinine remarks" of the youtube users you claim to care less about. Thank you for your entertaining attempts once again.

[boazandjiacinth]

@tantawi1992 i agree, the story of how Handel composed this, locked away in a room, and stating that God had used him as a mere instrument to produce such an awesome work, i find increadible!! I think he wrote the whole thing, through God's dictation, or maybe an Angel, in was it like 10 days... wow!!

[joobaby69]

@SymphonyofSorrow Though I completely agree with you, using that many "complex" words to prove your intelligence makes you look like you're trying way too hard to seem intelligent.

[justicepartyuk]

Messiah was born south of Islamabad, Pakistan. Sword appeared in the sky for 2 weeks over the village Messiah was born. Sword is sign of law & order, it has been prophesied Messiah will be associated with sword. Mullah Omar the spiritual leader of Taliban in Afghanistan is Antichrist. click Justice party UK.

[LennonMeringuePie]

@justicepartyuk You're an ignorant deluded brainwashed muslim. Your "holy book" is a book of lies. Your "allah" is a liar.

[babyannika2006]

@LennonMeringuePie whats your problem?! cant you just accept another religion without putting an entire community down? seriously, start watching what you say before saying it

[LennonMeringuePie]

@babyannika2006 Google "Prophet of doom" and mind your own business. I was replying to someone.

[otownshowdown15]

@LennonMeringuePie why such a dick?

[xthexheadbandittx]

@LennonMeringuePie Why insult someone's religion? I really don't think what you say to them even affects their life, so stop with the rude comments, no one cares about your input about anything. Get a clue already.

[goodgirlkay]

Cette chanson est très belle!

[soulsurrender]

@tantawi1992 Erm, those you mentioned are NOT Renaissance era composers, though yes, most of the actual Renaissance composers are deeply religious men.

[fastborzoi]

This music IS the Lamb of God

[Bzcenci]

Not only the ignorance but the lack of human sensitivity to pure beauty. No wonder in some other videos the comments have been deactivated. i remember it is said that Einstein said there were only two infinite things, the universe and human stupidity, and of the infiniteness of the universe he wasn't sure.

[sosmither]

Behold the KING, Jesus Christ also known as Yeshua the Messiah! The perfect one who was slain in order to redeem the world unto GOD Almighty. Worthy of praise and honor the Christ is!

[Nigeltheginger1]

Was this before Randy joined and they were an instrumental band?

[joshburton32]

I like it. I was looking for the Metal band but this is pretty sweet too. =]

[PeterboroughM]

The ignorance in some of these comments is staggering and disappointing; both religously and musicalogically. The version of Messiah we hear most times, these days, was arranged and somewhat edited by W A Mozart in 1789. He updated the instrumentation and changed some of the archaic English ["burthen" for example.] Also he altered the style of playing to include vibrato and pizzicato, which Haendel would not have used.

[PlomiennyJacus]

I love how people focused on a narrow range of sound and compositional technique call people ignorant, while sucking some overrated composer's dick.

I'm in no way claiming that Haendel isn't talented or that he hasn't made some great tunes, but he's no one-in-a-a-lot prodigy. Classical music "experts" are no better than any other bullshit musical subculture. Focusing on a restricted field of music is not understanding the music, it's being lazy and closed-minded. Thank you and have a good day.

[2KnowFirst]

This is more than music it is an expression of a man's love for his God.

Thank you, Handel 

[aellarex]

@2KnowFirst This is a "Gospel." And why not? Even St.Luke had never seen the Lamb of God. A man without great faith could not write this.

[yuonacotncsaepe]

Don't insult Handel

Don't insult Mozart

STOP INSULTING ANYBODY YOU STUCK UP BASTARDS YOU COULDN'T OF DONE AS GOOD A JO MUCH LESS A BETTER ONE!!!

[inessasirekanyan]

Truly Handel has seen angels worshiping the Lamb of GOD.

Praise LORD for this great music, which HE put into Handel`s heart ...

[yutube221]

@inessasirekanyan oh Yes. Yess. PRAISE AND BLESS HIS NAME. me i am declaring... I Am Standing in AWE OF HIM... and He IS just... just Wonderful ... o man, what in the world can we say... ?? and Handel, Another Chosen Vessel, to Show Forth the Father and The Son. and lets us not forget it is Ruach Elohim... o man, wow wow wee.

[Toelzerfanclever]

Hello Editor, we hear the sound only...:( I shall send you a video response.

At the moment YT is processing my new uploaded video with the Toelzers....

On Saturday June 5, they performed the Oratorium in Halle/Saale and a friend could film with his camcorder...:)

Hamburg/Germany, June 6,2010

[Windsifan70]

@Toelzerfanclever That was a very good idea...:) I love Händel - and the Toelzers too !

[daSaboriGuitars]

I dig this.

[yutube221]

@daSaboriGuitars yeah.

[Royal2Influenz]

I believe that Handel is a Amazing because he focused is music on Jesus Christ! That's what puts him on top!!! His songs are amazing!

[inessasirekanyan]

@Royal2Influenz

Yes, that`s true. And i think we should focuse on Jesus Christ also to be on top...

[HeReigns33]

@Royal2Influenz Amen to that!! We would all do better to put our focus on Him!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[robertenapoleon2000y]

HANDEL IS A GENIUS

[c17silencio]

handel is a genius but mozart is best

[michirrus]

@robertenapoleon2000y I agree with you.

[maninthewilderness4]

The quote from Charles Jennens: "His Messiah has disappointed me, being set in great hast[e], tho' he said he would be a year about it, & make it the best of all his Compositions. I shall put no more Sacred Words into his hands, to be thus abus'd."

Obviously not an easy man to please.

[c17silencio]

no. mozart is bet because wrote the MASS REQUIES

[ColtBarrettUSA]

Excellent music by an excellent composer.

[c17silencio]

NO MOZART IS BEsT because wrote the requien

WHICH IS BETTER THAN MESIAH

[dgiampellegrini]

@c17silencio OK Mozart may be the best, but his requiem was inspired (...ehm...) by the Messiah. Listen "And with his stripes we are healed" and compare with Mozart's "Kyrie"! it's embarassing.. and Messiah was written BEFORE!!

[MarkusDMeier]

@dgiampellegrini

It is said that Mozart was a fake and could not even read notes ... he also masturbated during rehearsals a friend of a friends mother told me ! Can you believe that ??!

[HaroldHeslop]

@MarkusDMeier Is this meant to tell us something?

[MarkusDMeier]

@HaroldHeslop It shows that some composers are grossly overrated !

Also here in this ilustre round of experts in youtube

[jillgivler]

@MarkusDMeier Such ignorance. Shame on you.

[MarkusDMeier]

@jillgivler No, don´t blame me, blame Mozart oder Handel or whatever his right name is

[mentalmanperry93]

Charles Jennings was very disappointed with Handel's work. He is the man who gave Handel all the scriptures for the oratorio that became "Messiah". Now NO ONE knowes who HE was!! Great music, greater Truths!!

[LUDES59]

Christ's followers gave Handel the scriptures.

[beerstudd76]

@LUDES59 Why thank you, Captain Obvious. What ever would we do without such penetrating insights?

[LUDES59]

Your mother told me this after I pulled out of her mouth.

[mentalmanperry93]

I have attended several performances of the Messiah and I am yet to hear this in any performance. Something about "versions" being used as the reason why it's not offered, the "Dublin version" and the "London version". What a waste of fine music when this is not performed and the listener not given the chance to hear God.s invitation to all!!

[bluefete77]

They do not sing them like this anymore.

[tcollinsg3]

Part of the genius of this chorus in the context of Handel's magnum opus is that he takes us on an authentic emotional and spiritual journey through the human experience. Sin is a deeply sad and grievous reality that cannot be covered up; it must be admitted and confessed, and I cannot imagine how anyone listening to this minor-key rendering of the scripture text cannot be impressed with and moved by the weight and sorrow of our sin-wracked world.

[dfausti66]

Yes, Handel was foreordained to write the Messiah and each of us are foreordained to do a great work in our lives.

[gotheknights]

amazing

[heyohey711]

This is amazing.

[Rosecrus]

Yes, perfection.

[kdancat]

John 1:29

Handel is perfection.

[BlueMonster78]

OnlyGod the father, and the lord Jesus Christ is perfect. :)

[kdancat]

10-4 BlueMonster78.  Handel is, to my way of thinking, the human expression of musical perfection.

[inessasirekanyan]

@kdancat

yes, because God gave him the vision of angel`s worship in heaven

[TsunamiFilms]

Don't forget the Holy Spirit/Ghost too :]

[inessasirekanyan]

@BlueMonster78

I agree with you, and of course Holy Spirit is perfect!
