On 24 December 1906, Reginald Fessenden of Brant Rock, Mass. broadcast the very first radio transmission for an audience featuring a human voice. A record of this very same piece of music played on a gramophone was included in the broadcast, making this composition the first recorded music ever played on radio.
Wonderful words to song: Holy art thou x2 Lord God almighty Blessing and glory In heaven art thine Earth lowly bending Swells the full harmony Blessing and glory To the lamb Forever more For worthy art thou Worthy art thou Let all nations and kindreds and peoples Give thanks to thee Forever more GIve thanks for everymore… Let all nations and kindreds and peoples Give thanks to thee Forever more
I will tell you what it is that makes you feel these feelings when you hear these beautiful arrangement of notes. You see music is more than sounds produced by instruments .There is a spirit within the arrangements like poetry with musical notes instead of words. And the emotions these arpeggios evoke can touch the deepest reaches of the soul. Because music is vibrations too and these pierce your body like a sword and alter your soul. This is the beauty of music. Food for the soul.
And it came to pass that " I said that there is no God no one better than me defended the side of an universe empty with no God, I am ashamed I couldn't have never thought that could happend to me, There is a most high, bright and eternal God"........
Why is there a argument over whether God exists or not here? It is a beautiful piece, and yes, Handel undoubtedly believed he did (just an obvious observation from "The Messiah" and my look into his life, ahha). But, there are no words to this song, meaning there should be no words of discrimination or hate on this page. I am certain you did not go to this video by searching, "Does God Exist?" No you searched this song, now get over it, and listen. (but while were at, I believe, ahhaa)
This song touches something deep within me. I can't explain it. Every time I hear this song I strive to become something more than I already am. Hearing these beautiful notes changes me.. I feel as though I had to share that with someone. Unfortunately, it's to faceless people I'll never meet, because I can't explain to those around me what I feel inside. There is something truly amazing inside the human mind to make me feel this way. Whatever that may be..
@X3CE So glad you shared your feelings! I love that you "strive to become something more than I already am" every time you hear this piece! You honor GF Handel and inspire me and surely countless others who read your post. Thank you.
@X3CE I think I feel that way whenever I read a really good book or hear an amazing piece of music. It really does make you want to become something greater than you've ever imagined yourself becoming. It makes it all the better to know that someone out there created this beautiful thing your listening to and it makes you wonder what kind of thoughts were going through their minds at the time when they were creating whichever thing they had created.
@X3CE I completely agree with your response. I too feel the same way. One elaboration I might add: "I don't believe there is something truly amazing inside the human mind! However, I am convinced there is a spirit, that I call God, who is inside the human mind that gives us these sacred moments if only we corresond to his invitation.

I've been sifting through some of the comments here, and I think people are confused. When xcode394 said, "its always atheists on youtube videos that start talking trash," he doesn't mean ALL atheists talk trash on youtube. He means ALL trash-talking people are atheists. Obviously this is not true (ALWAYS), but in this case, I have to agree. A religious person commenting, "God is so good in this music," does not want to invoke a fight, but an atheist usually comes along to argue against him.
@KardOfHeart I'm not sure about religious wars on youtube, and you make a well-pointed and written argument, perhaps not one I necessarily agree with, but one must ask oneself how often wars in the real world are started because somebody didn't believe in a god...
@twentythreepointfive kardofheart is exactly what i mean. the trash talking ppl are mostly atheists. when someone says " wow this music shows God's love" the atheist that has to say " it also shows that you believe in lollipop land", and about the wars, world war 2 had some of the most casualities in human history. hitler, stalin, Mao were all antireligious and atheists. the difference is christians realize that war started in the name of God was wrong but no atheist has done so in the same way.
What has religion got to do with this beautiful music? NOTHING! You can enjoy this beauty, regardless of what inspired it. This music is for all ears, what you relate it to, is your own choosing. The meaning of the melody is up to the individual.
Even though I'm not a religious person, I do enjoy listening to Bach, Mozart and Handel's sacred/church music for their beauty and often touching melody. Even non-religious people can listen to religious music, all it takes is tolerance and an open-mind!

Beautiful song, This song reminds me the nature, the lakes, the mountains, the woods, the birds, the ocean, the flowers, the animals, and the rain, is absolutely beautiful this song, it makes me cry of happiness!!! :-)
Jesus Christ, how in the hell does a shitstorm religious debate like this start in the comment section of a beautiful piece that needs absolutely no commentary?
Your arguments essentially boil down to a belief that a world without religion would be MORE violent, oppressive and egotistic than a world where everyone belonged to a religious group. Look at the demographics: they clearly show that all of the world's most tolerant and peaceful countries also happen to be among the LEAST religious, with no exception. The Scandinavian countries and New Zealand generally top the list - in all of these countries more than half the population are not Christians.
If you can't prove that god exists though, then how can you justify, for example, tax exemption of for religious organizations? I'm sure you will now say that Christian groups are especially generous and do a lot of good. But I have a number of objections to this. Firstly, there are many non-religious organizations who are charitable, and secondly, Christianity has and continues to be a dangerous and divisive force and promotes (and sometimes starts) conflict in many parts of the world.
My mom died 200/09/05 and this beautiful song played while we carried her coffin in and out the church. My heart will break everytime I hear it. RIP Hildegard Piek, you were a remarkable person.
I really like this melody, it's very relaxing and peaceful. I was reading the comments, and I saw xcodes394's comment on religion and I didn't like how prejudiced his view of atheists was. I am undecided whether there is or isn't a god, but I think it's fair to say that since every major world religion claims every other world religion is "wrong", "false" or "sinful", that all major world religions are not the true religion since the majority of the world see each particular religion as incorect
@Sp33dyish no i am not prejudiced. in alot of videos, a christian simply says stuff like " thank you jesus" or " wow god is good" who minds their own business and then comes an atheist who replies like " theres no evidence for jesus" or " this shit doesnt prove that God is real". i mean come on, the christian person wasnt even talking to you. he was simply expressing his opinion in a neutral way that was not meant to be offensive to any1. yet the atheists comes forward in an offensive manner.
@xcode394 Yes you are prejudiced, "prejudice is a prejudgment, an assumption made about someone or something before having adequate knowledge to be able to do so with GUARANTEED accuracy". And you said "its ALWAYS atheists on youtube videos that start talking trash". The fact is it isn't ALWAYS atheists that trash talk, and the prejudice comments you made prove that. Please stop been so ignorant and let people watch the video without making so many prejudice comments.
@Sp33dyish okay fine if you want me to be politically correct, atheists does it MOST of the time cuz from what ive seen in many many videos and even real life, 95% of the time, its the atheist that starts talking trash. like for physicalsimforever, that kinda comment is somewhat offensive to us christians. he may be an atheist, but ppl on here didnt say " oh look you stupid atheists, this is proof of God". no they merely said " wow i think this shows God" in a neutral way.
@xcode394 Well from what I'v seen, it's people like you who do it most of the time. You made 100% prejudice comments against all atheists. Maybe the reason you think it's always atheists that start arguments is because you start them and don't realize. So you just blame it on the person your arguing with. And physicalsimforever didn't make offensive comments. If you found them offensive, maybe it's because your faith isn't so strong and you can't bare loose to only proof of god you have. =S
@Sp33dyish no thats actually not how it is cuz the comments im talking about are about other ppl. i flip through comments and its the atheists that usually starts talking shit to the christian who simply writes something like " oh thank you jesus for your sacrifice"..... and btw, im lmfao . my faith isnt strong enough and i cant bare to loose the only proof of God i got??? hahahahaha. wait, let me say that again. hahahahaha. trust me, i got more evidence for His existence than you can imagine.
@xcode394 lol im a christian and so are you. But you are a highly ignorant christian, you say all atheists start fights, when you are the one who starts them with your ignorant comments. Ofcourse we don't have any proof of god... that is why we should have faith. You give all christians a bad name and cause atheists to wonder if all christians are as ignorant as you. Please get a brain or get lost.
@xcode394 The only sort of evidence that is real evidence for anything is done using the scientific method, which is as close to an objective way to find things out as we have. If a mountain of evidence obtained that way comes to light in support of the supernatural, then I will become a Christian. The irony of all this is that many scientists have been (and still are) Christians, but none of their discoveries have supported Christianity.
@PhysicalsimForever the time of when i argue with atheists like yourself have passed. you have no idea how many times ive done so. ive offered plenty of evidences to support my view and yet they still stayed ignorant& stubborn. now im just likeyou believe what you choose to believe & ill do the same for me. in the end, only time will tell whos right. if we die and nothing happens, then congrats to you atheists. if there is a God, then i will be happy to see Him when i die. only time will tell.
Whoa, y'all are still at it after, ah, three months, is it?
Why not simply show him why he's so "obviously" wrong instead of writing a big fat paragraph of meaningless rhetoric? His assertion on a correlation between secularism and quality-of-living still stands. If you want to argue, why not do it in a way that is followable, without jumping away from any point that threatens your stance?
I think it's kind of ironic how people are talking about this song being played at weddings and funerals. If you research it a bit, in this aria, Xerxes is praising his favorite tree as "Never was there a shadow of branches, sweeter, more refreshing or more gentile." He is talking about life; the bitter sweetness of it; all our meetings and partings, in life and death. You have all experienced this song, without even knowing it. Your loved ones smile upon us in heaven with Handel.
Just enjoy this serene moving beautiful piece of music. I certainly believe that Handel is seated very close to God, whatever you perceive him or her to be. that make sense? No arguments, no hurts, just enjoy.
It is amazing piece, and apparently very popular; therefore, I cannot believe the controversy it has caused on here (YT). This song has nothing to do with race, age, gender, or religion.
I also had this played at a friends funeral,this is haunting enough,but listen to it played well on an Organ-(sadly not available (played well )that is ) on youTube.
Nice! In fact, very nice! I sometimes wonder if Handl couldn't be played a bit less nicely. That'd be nice. There's some gusto and flamboyancy in Handl that doesn't always surface in modern reproductions.
For example, I could say: Handel was exposed to the works of many composers during his time in london. He, analyzing the works of earlier Baroque masters and by his own personal endeavors, found a theme somewhere, expanded and modified it into what we now know to be his largo from Xerxes. A far more plausible explanation, and it makes the music greater as it is his and only his acheivement.
Simply because Handel's music is gorgeous does not mean God exists. You just spat out the aging, rusty 'argument' from Design: 'it [insert thing here] is so amazing it could not possibly be here save by design' and the 'argument' from personal incredulity: 'I believe it [insert] was due to God, therefore God exists'. It really is no better than that. Saying something is due to God is simply a convenient excuse for not finding a proper explanation.
@PhysicalsimForever dude come on man. i dont care if youre an atheist but do we really need to start a religious argument on a video like this??? if youre an atheist, thats fine, just please dont start saying that people are dumb or that you cant find anything to say when they relate something to God. its always atheists on youtube videos that start talking trash.
@xcode394 I agree, on any video be it Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and such I assure you that there is a "does God exist" argument. I hate to discriminate, but yes it is usually the Atheist that starts it.
@xcode394 This video proves that Handel did exist, not sure about any Gods though ! You may be right in your critique of atheism, by saying that atheist always start talking trash is an untruth equivalent to to the lie that all religious people are dumb. Please follow your own high standards of Socratic discussion all the time. Thank you!
@717i yes really. christians most of the time simply state their opinions in a neutral non-offensive way until the atheist comes with a reply that insults him. i would even talk to my friend about God and then my atheist room would be like " oh yea didnt jesus rise from the dead as a zombie and ate ppl's brains?" comments like that is just as common on youtube. christians mind their businesses while the atheists comes with the comment of trying to be a douche the christian.
@xcode394 I'm an athiest, and I think its beautiful. There are things in the Universe that are beautiful. There are people that are kind and good. Sometimes beauty happens. I'll settle for that.
@normanefox We are all beautiful; the lowest to the highest; that which we think and believe is our beauty. Created in his image, we are God. Through our experiences God creates the leading edge of this Universe.
@xcode394 hey dont discriminate against atheists!! its not all of us! I am strongly atheist but I still love baroque music (which most often times encompass religious aspects)!!!
@ModellMeister i am not discriminating against atheist. and you know, being "strongly atheist" doesnt make sense. an atheist is one who does not believe in or have faith in a deity or in a religion. religion requires faith and loyalty. how much sense would it be if i said i was strongly anti- santa claus? you either have faith or dont believe at all. so by saying that youre a strong atheist means that you have faith in atheism and is referring to it in a religous way, which i find ironic.
@xcode394 First, strongly atheist makes sense. Atheist is just not believing in religion. STRONGLY atheist (or antitheist) is when you dont believe in religion and religion should be eradicated. Second, its not ironic at all. Its OK to obsess over something if its correct, religious people obsess over fairy tales
@ModellMeister That's just it, though. You have no way of proving one way or the other correct. Absolutely no way. I believe in scientific facts as well, but they can't explain everything. You probably think religion is bad because religious people are intolerant, but look at yourself. Why can't you just live and let live?
@Jaxin30993 Ok, I admit freely that I am intolerant. Of mature adults believing in fairy tales, that is. Sure theres no way to prove 100%, but theres all the evidence for science and none for religion except one book written thousands of years ago where rivers turn to blood, a supernatural being invents plants before sunlight, created humans from dirt dolls, where "He" is all knowing and loves everyone, but for some reason killed more people than the devil and caused tragedies in human history
@ModellMeister you know, i would really hate to start a religious argument on a video like this tho i would destroy you in one if i did get in it cuz i have debated with numerous atheists and have left them thinking while my faith was still strong. you can call atheism " the absolute correct thing and that religion is all fairy tales". i could care less, really. religion is not just a belief system or stories, its a cultural thing. destroying religion is destroying culture.
@xcode394 I dont know, I as well have crushed many an ignorant religious person, even converting a few to believe in science. I merely woke them up. But let us not argue whats right for people to believe or not, people can believe/do whatever the heck they want to, just enjoy the music :)
@ModellMeister oh dont get me wrong. I believe in science. In fact, I love science, but that does not keep me from believing in or having faith in God. And yes youre right, its up to ppl to decide what they want to believe in so lets just enjoy the music.
I went to a Christian kindergarten and grade school. One of our teachers, a regular classroom teacher, had minored in music and was an aficionado of classical music. In our little school, you graduated three times. From kindergarten to grade school; from sixth grade to the seventh; and from the eighth grade. Instead of Pomp and Circumstance, the teacher chose this as our graduation march music. Large from Xerxes brings great memories of some great people to me.
Thank you. Late at night, while all alone in my quiet office, I discover a way to express my feelings and my thoughts that suit me. The thought of God whispering to me in ways other than what my ears hear become more and more evident as I grow older. I am beginning to accept the idea that God does reveal himself to us over and over every day. We think that for God to reveal himself we must be able to see him with our eyes and hear him with our ears. Now I see him and I hear him. Have faith.
I am choosing this piece for a Velvet Knights drum corps audition on the baritone horn; currently, I think it may get me into a nice and high chair. It is such an amazing piece to listen to.
@Omega9935 What is "justin bieber"? And why should someone care about it when listening to something what was sent to us directly from Heaven and written down by G. F. Handel?
I like the vocal version the best, but I can't find it. This orchestra version is great! The tone of the violins is sometimes so pure and sonorous that it sounds for all the world like a human voice. And unlike some recordings, the quarter notes underneath in the violas and 2nd violins aren't plodding at all.
My mom died 2010/09/05 and this beautiful song played while we carried her coffin in and out the church. My heart will break everytime I hear it. RIP Hildegard Piek, you were a remarkable person.

@twentythreepointfive kardofheart is exactly what i mean. the trash talking ppl are mostly atheists. when someone says " wow this music shows God's love" the atheist that has to say " it also shows that you believe in lollipop land", and about the wars, world war 2 had some of the most casualities in human history. hitler, stalin, Mao were all antireligious and atheists. the difference is christians realize that war started in the name of God was wrong but no atheist has done so in the same way.

Your arguments essentially boil down to a belief that a world without religion would be MORE violent, oppressive and egotistic than a world where everyone belonged to a religious group. Look at the demographics: they clearly show that all of the world's most tolerant and peaceful countries also happen to be among the LEAST religious, with no exception. The Scandinavian countries and New Zealand generally top the list - in all of these countries more than half the population are not Christians.

If you can't prove that god exists though, then how can you justify, for example, tax exemption of for religious organizations? I'm sure you will now say that Christian groups are especially generous and do a lot of good. But I have a number of objections to this. Firstly, there are many non-religious organizations who are charitable, and secondly, Christianity has and continues to be a dangerous and divisive force and promotes (and sometimes starts) conflict in many parts of the world.

I really like this melody, it's very relaxing and peaceful. I was reading the comments, and I saw xcodes394's comment on religion and I didn't like how prejudiced his view of atheists was. I am undecided whether there is or isn't a god, but I think it's fair to say that since every major world religion claims every other world religion is "wrong", "false" or "sinful", that all major world religions are not the true religion since the majority of the world see each particular religion as incorect
Sp33dyish 8 months ago in playlist Classical Music for Relaxation
@Sp33dyish no i am not prejudiced. in alot of videos, a christian simply says stuff like " thank you jesus" or " wow god is good" who minds their own business and then comes an atheist who replies like " theres no evidence for jesus" or " this shit doesnt prove that God is real". i mean come on, the christian person wasnt even talking to you. he was simply expressing his opinion in a neutral way that was not meant to be offensive to any1. yet the atheists comes forward in an offensive manner.

@xcode394 Yes you are prejudiced, "prejudice is a prejudgment, an assumption made about someone or something before having adequate knowledge to be able to do so with GUARANTEED accuracy". And you said "its ALWAYS atheists on youtube videos that start talking trash". The fact is it isn't ALWAYS atheists that trash talk, and the prejudice comments you made prove that.

@Sp33dyish okay fine if you want me to be politically correct, atheists does it MOST of the time cuz from what ive seen in many many videos and even real life, 95% of the time, its the atheist that starts talking trash. like for physicalsimforever, that kinda comment is somewhat offensive to us christians. he may be an atheist, but ppl on here didnt say " oh look you stupid atheists, this is proof of God". no they merely said " wow i think this shows God" in a neutral way.

@xcode394 Well from what I'v seen, it's people like you who do it most of the time. You made 100% prejudice comments against all atheists. Maybe the reason you think it's always atheists that start arguments is because you start them and don't realize. So you just blame it on the person your arguing with. And physicalsimforever didn't make offensive comments. If you found them offensive, maybe it's because your faith isn't so strong and you can't bare loose to only proof of god you have. =S

@Sp33dyish no thats actually not how it is cuz the comments im talking about are about other ppl. i flip through comments and its the atheists that usually starts talking shit to the christian who simply writes something like " oh thank you jesus for your sacrifice"..... and btw, im lmfao . my faith isnt strong enough and i cant bare to loose the only proof of God i got??? hahahahaha. wait, let me say that again. hahahahaha. trust me, i got more evidence for His existence than you can imagine.

@xcode394 The only sort of evidence that is real evidence for anything is done using the scientific method, which is as close to an objective way to find things out as we have. If a mountain of evidence obtained that way comes to light in support of the supernatural, then I will become a Christian. The irony of all this is that many scientists have been (and still are) Christians, but none of their discoveries have supported Christianity.

I think it's kind of ironic how people are talking about this song being played at weddings and funerals. If you research it a bit, in this aria, Xerxes is praising his favorite tree as "Never was there a shadow of branches, sweeter, more refreshing or more gentile." He is talking about life; the bitter sweetness of it; all our meetings and partings, in life and death. You have all experienced this song, without even knowing it. Your loved ones smile upon us in heaven with Handel.

bantaar 1 year ago
For example, I could say: Handel was exposed to the works of many composers during his time in london. He, analyzing the works of earlier Baroque masters and by his own personal endeavors, found a theme somewhere, expanded and modified it into what we now know to be his largo from Xerxes. A far more plausible explanation, and it makes the music greater as it is his and only his acheivement.
PhysicalsimForever 1 year ago
Simply because Handel's music is gorgeous does not mean God exists. You just spat out the aging, rusty 'argument' from Design: 'it [insert thing here] is so amazing it could not possibly be here save by design' and the 'argument' from personal incredulity: 'I believe it [insert] was due to God, therefore God exists'. It really is no better than that. Saying something is due to God is simply a convenient excuse for not finding a proper explanation.

@ModellMeister i am not discriminating against atheist. and you know, being "strongly atheist" doesnt make sense. an atheist is one who does not believe in or have faith in a deity or in a religion. religion requires faith and loyalty. how much sense would it be if i said i was strongly anti- santa claus? you either have faith or dont believe at all. so by saying that youre a strong atheist means that you have faith in atheism and is referring to it in a religous way, which i find ironic.
xcode394 7 months ago
@xcode394 First, strongly atheist makes sense. Atheist is just not believing in religion. STRONGLY atheist (or antitheist) is when you dont believe in religion and religion should be eradicated. Second, its not ironic at all. Its OK to obsess over something if its correct, religious people obsess over fairy tales
ModellMeister 7 months ago
@ModellMeister That's just it, though. You have no way of proving one way or the other correct. Absolutely no way. I believe in scientific facts as well, but they can't explain everything. You probably think religion is bad because religious people are intolerant, but look at yourself. Why can't you just live and let live?

@Jaxin30993 Ok, I admit freely that I am intolerant. Of mature adults believing in fairy tales, that is. Sure theres no way to prove 100%, but theres all the evidence for science and none for religion except one book written thousands of years ago where rivers turn to blood, a supernatural being invents plants before sunlight, created humans from dirt dolls, where "He" is all knowing and loves everyone, but for some reason killed more people than the devil and caused tragedies in human history

In our little school, you graduated three times. From kindergarten to grade school; from sixth grade to the seventh; and from the eighth grade. Instead of Pomp and Circumstance, the teacher chose this as our graduation march music. Large from Xerxes brings great memories of some great people to me.

Thank you. Late at night, while all alone in my quiet office, I discover a way to express my feelings and my thoughts that suit me. The thought of God whispering to me in ways other than what my ears hear become more and more evident as I grow older. I am beginning to accept the idea that God does reveal himself to us over and over every day. We think that for God to reveal himself we must be able to see him with our eyes and hear him with our ears. Now I see him and I hear him. Have faith.
