@V2Blast I know. *shrug* That was posted in the middle of an ecstatic afterglow, so... Yeah. Up yours.

[V2Blast]

@Asgard314 I'm just being bitter. :P

[tfan68a]

When Handel wrote this piece he locked himself in a room for many days, barely eating or sleeping. His assistant was concerned for his health and sanity. One day the assistant found Handel with tears streaming down his face

The man asked Handel what was wrong and the composer pointed to the sheet music for the HC and said... I have seen the very face of God.

Hard to argue with that sentiment.

[someshyguy]

Reaction to Derpy Hooves speaking.

[Asgard314]

@someshyguy YES!!! XD

[BreannBonds]

[Darksider1029]

My School Choir has 1 week to learn this and preform it at our Christmas concert without music The concert is Dec. 13 and we have not even seen the music yet UGH.

[ShellyVanAlen31]

@Darksider1029 Music is pretty easy though. We had to learn it in a week or so. My school is on the 14th

[Blackheaven1685]

Wow, they look like the soul got sucked out of them years ago. Perhaps it's because they'd been singing for an hour before this.

[clubpenguin235]

[HaustoriaPith]

[MrAwkwardDinosaur]

Anyone notice Abraham Lincoln at 2:38?

[SUPERMARIOROCKSYES]

ONLY 71,000 VIEWS!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!

[spindlegold]

I got something to put in those double ovens, Kitchen Aid.

[TrueVolleyballAlyssa]

I'm a soprano 1 and we sing this song every year in chorus. It's always one of my favorites to sing.

[froogs165]

It doesn't get much tighter than this with an orchestra and choir.

[jonasbrotherfreak16]

i love this song. we r singing this in my high school this month and we sound amazingg!!

[YajaBeige]

Why does the advertisement preceding the video and the suggestions list all pertain to hell and evil? That's weird.

[beorbel]

You rarely ever hear the sopranos in tune on "king of kings, and lord of lords." Makes it harder on the first trumpet. This recording is no exception.

[joelt2105]

I sung this with the combined high school Acapella choirs of my home town for 3 years every christmas at the big cathederal down town with the continuo, a trumpet player the tympanny, two violins, two violas and a bass and I remember the sound as full as the full orchestra of the present video. I want this playing on my last day on Earth, hair on fire, going mach 1 as I rocket across whitesands NM. Handel, you genius, you.

[TheArabsolga]

lol i got a pic of cookies and played this song and my dad looked at me funny... XD

[Nagi21]

Does a conductor for this kinda thing actually do anything...?

[callmesora]

@Nagi21 If i recall, a conductor's job is actually to keep everyone in rhythm. Its easier for a orchestra to use the visual cues from the conductor than to try to stay in rhythm with the rest by ear.

(Not saying that the following line applies to you).

There's a large misconception that Conductors direct the pitch, which isn't true. (We can blame Bugs Bunny :P)

[Skilfer11]

@callmesora The conductor also is responsible for the interpretation of the piece. He determines how he wants the express each phrase, and how prominent each part should be at any given point.

[moonodude17]

Everyone's theme song to the news of Beavis And Butt-Head returning to MTV.

[nickwalther13als]

As a baritone I feel like a douche when I sing this because it's pretty easy. It get's up there but not that high, and it gets down into a lower baritone note. Definitely a beautiful, difficult, genius, MASTERPIECE!

[gt3cupcar93]

as a tenor, its the hardest song to sing, but god its beautiful

[7DGamingPotato]

this should play when school ends.

like over the loudspeakers or something.

[bstunt]

I just found out that my gf is a beer drinker! =D Then this song played in my head!!!

[johnboy9596]

This song is quite beautiful, can you Handel it.

[yungluke09]

I'll play this song when Justin Bieber retires... lol

[emriederek]

Sang this every year of high school choir and though I'm not very traditionally "religious" it still gives me shivers when I hear it...a very great piece of music indeed!

[emriederek]

I'm not very traditionally "religious", sang this all four years of high school choir and it can still give me shivers when I here it. A very great piece of music no doubt!

[Greggles252]

At 0:31, does anyone else notice someone who looks like Bill Nye? =X

[2leon101]

my high school choir sings this every year but this song was like hell >,<

but its the most awesome song ever

[mrbutternice]

My Choir in schools sings this every year. Such a fun piece.

Oh. And at 1:38, pause it and look at the top row of Tenors. Best high A face I've ever seen.

[365CelebStory]

started playing this today when I found out "Friday" by rebecca black has been removed from youtube....

[xninex100]

i <3 the drum lady @3:05-3:07

[Paiotay]

At the high school I went to, every year at Christmas they do this song, and have the alumni join them. I missed it last year but I won't this time! It was so fun to see people who I had known come up with me then ^_^ Can't wait!

[AustinZombieKIller]

i heard this when i found out Osama was dead

[MrBird2007]

i played this song when one of my coworkers got fired. he was a real jerk though.

[ljude01]

Happy Easter 2011!

[thetitanicisdead]

@ 1:26 it sounds like they say the dog eats rice lol

[icemancotour]

@thetitanicisdead lol it does.

[nmswisher]

It is obscene and a sacrilege that this video is contaminated by ads. And to have some nasty video by Britney Spears shoved in our faces? Unbelievable! No expression of faith (whatever faith it is) should be so defiled. VEVO should be ashamed and driven out of business.

I want to use this video to help explain the concept of Easter to my international students. This particular one because the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields is the best. Sadly, I will have to apologize to them for the ads.

[HYPERSILVER7]

Fire+Water=Alcohol

Anyone get the reference?

[FastoJetso]

Beatiful voices

[Eddlb]

If you are going to Criticize a wonderful piece of music at least get your Holidays right. Handel wrote the Messiah for the Easter celebration NOT Christmas.

[MrBird2007]

played this song when one of my coworkers got fired. i hated him so much

[SunaNoSiren]

I love singing this as a soprano 1 :D

[TruthTeller878]

REASON, EMOTION & TRUTH:

Christmas (Mass of Christ) was created by the sexually perverted Roman Catholic church. The Catholic church was created by Lucifer (Satan).

Why do most non-Catholics, and many Christians, celebrate this wildly wicked weird witchcraft holiday from the weathered old Roman religion of rapists? It's beautiful side of evil?...Well, evil, is still evil, no matter how it is served to you.

A curse shall be on all who celebrate this.

[MasterofGalaxies4628]

@TruthTeller878 The only one here getting cursed is you.

[TruthTeller878]

@MasterofGalaxies4628, Christmas is evil. I cannot be cursed because I am doing the Lord God's will. I do not celebrate this evil holiday of the Devil. God shall a put curse on all who celebrate this holiday of Hell. You and your children' s children shall suffer plague and death. The Holy Bible explains this fact.

[Vid992]

@TruthTeller878 Alrighty then! That's not very nice of you now is it? I don't really feel like getting into a religious arguement on a video for a beautiful chorus, but you say you are doing the Lord's will, yet you are condemning people to damnation and death, one of the worst things you could possibly do. And what is one of the Ten Commandments? Love thy neighbor I believe it was? Just saying buddy.

[balkthor]

@Vid992

Internet troll, bro.

[Vid992]

@balkthor Lol I realize that now XD

[airpie5]

penis

[delameu]

are you fucking serious? vevo puts its hands in classical music now

[NEMstrodamus]

Outstanding. Better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Kudos Maestro.

[favoradet76]

i love this song but hates the advert that comes before it... must we have to watch the advert everytime we wanna watch the songs... pls tell them to take it off............

[tarrney9]

this song stinks we have to do it for s.s.

[TheKokuei]

My choir sang this at Epcot :D

[eky618]

Who's the the conductor?

[Briael]

@eky618 Sir Neville Mariner

[artofliving123]

LOL at VEVO

[yinyanng1818]

my church choir sing this every easter i love our little alto solo seriously love singing this song

[PokerPunk64]

I find it funny right next to the video there is another song called F***in Perfect; took the words rigt out of my mouth

[Thumper17]

This, is without a doubt, the true embodiment and spirit of the word Epic.

[MindGeek304]

Praise Handel!! Lol I wish angles would come and sing to me!!

[ComicalGus]

Vevo just showed me a ad about being a mormon, holy shit don't even get me started on how pissed off I am at youtube!

[rorose132]

I learned the Alto part to this when I was a freshman in high school. I'm a senior in college now and still remember most of my part. This is the only piece to stick with me this long. I'd kill to be able to preform it with a choir again.

[Iceydevestaion]

good song

[DeathMagusScythe]

Bonus points for spotting Bill Nye in the bass section!

[KiamarMasterT]

I so dislike VEVO!

Why can't it just leave us alone?

Where did this VEVO come from in the first place?

[ElonoreKeselman524]

DL the audio from this video at tubepull doht cohm.

[christoperfect]

It was most likely an editorial discrepancy. There are differences like this in some of the more un-popular editions. I really like it, though. It's refreshing.

[caoimhin92]

why did they change the rhythm at the 'and of his christ' to 16th notes? it sounds awesome, but why?

[Lordoffail]

@caoimhin92

Because it sounds AWESOME, that's why! Sometimes that's the ONLY excuse you need!

[caoimhin92]

@Lordoffail haha true say! and it pisses me off that an ad for rihanna was before this, and katy perry's face is next to the video. next to handel, they don't deserve to open their mouths.

[pepsi2010er]

i love this song

[jstrick85]

Love the tempo

[JadaRhymes]

Ok, not bad. My choir is going to murk them tho.

[xxmissunderstoodxx19]

im getting ready for concert to sing this song.. we suck compared to this >:P

[fulerguy]

@xxmissunderstoodxx19 Troy high school?

[mluptak]

i used to sing this in choir.. makes me realize how bad i sound..

[waterboy994]

I bet glee could do it better! lmfaoo! JUST KIDDDING (:

[veejayone1]

like grow up, XxQmanxXp2B

[veejayone1]

like grow up XxQmanxXp2B

[XxQmanxXP2B]

you know what would be cool for this song?

If like it was the end of Armageddon and Like Satan is about to kill someone they cry out "JESUS!" and it starts playing the "and he shall reign forever and eeeeeever, HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH" and then Jesus and the devil fight Ninja style lol, that would be fucking SWEEEEET! 

[salaxxx21]

I was in my high school choir and we had to sing this. Im a soprano. I swear it was one of the hardest songs to sing. but its one of the best ive ever learned.

[arlei26]

@salaxxx21 OMG.... ME TO!!! :DDD

[10treece]

@salaxxx21 i did alto! ahhhh, it was amazing!

[EpicFailzifyX2]

@salaxxx21 We had to sing it to and im a soprano as well, it was killer to learn but damn it was so worth it afterwards

[sweb74]

@salaxxx21 me too and me too!

[brigadoondays]

@salaxxx21 I am confused by the backdrop. Is this the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields performing at a 250th Anniversary in Dublin? Or am I missing something else. As other viewers have pointed out, there is much advertising, but little documentary information. Great, though!

[vicdadude]

@salaxxx21

Being a Soprano is tough, didn't you see Tony Soprano get betrayed by his own family and blood relatives on several occasions throughout the series? I totally agree

[astrid351]

@vicdadude lol

[kagom15987]

@salaxxx21 we are singing this in chorus and its alot of fun but im an alto so its kinda easy

[supertromboneman]

@salaxxx21 We did it every xmas at my HS with the choir and symphonic band together, being in the symphonic band it is also a decently tough piece, moreso for the blending of instruments, tonation, and trying to be loud enough but quiet enough for the choir. Being a trombone, my hated part was 1:53 since the B natural always tends to be hard to nail with 4+ trombones. It never wants to sit right in tonality =(

[Hawthorne2k]

If the trumpets in heaven sound like what Mark Bennett is playing here, heaven will indeed be heavenly.

[psalmnineteen]

@Hawthorne2k Oh, I have a feeling it's going to be A LOT better than that! :)

[dannyarts]

one of my all time favorite songs.... ever...

[saraharlinda]

amazing. i am speechless.

[tommyrw2]

incredible
