North Penn High School 2006 Winter Concert Hallelujah Chorus

The North Penn High School (Lansdale, PA) Music Ensembles put on their 2006 Winter Concert on the evening of December 11th, 2006.

This is a video of the combined music ensembles performing in the climax of the show -- Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah. The video features the 200+ member high school chorus on the risers, and members of the high school orchestra playing on stage. It was truly an awesome way to conclude a wonderful concert! North Penn, once again, you guys and gals are fantastic! Thank you for such an evening of entertainment, from a still-proud Marching Knights band parent!

My apolgies for the inital "motion" in the beginning of the video, as I had no tripod. This was filmed from the balcony, and once I stood up and could see better, I tried harder to steady the video.

Enjoy!

@neetrab Yes, they still sound awesome. I'll be posting selections from this years Winter concert very soon. Watch for them.

Thanks for your comment, and The Best of Holidays to you!

Sounds great!

Is the conductor slightly off? I'm here conducting in my seat and it seems like the conductor goes slower than the song itself...

[dsmavis]

The conductor appearing to be behind the song is probably an artifact of my converting the video for posting to YouTube.

Rest assured that during the actual performance, the conductor and the song were SPOT ON together.

What a great tribute to the heart of our youth in a America for taking a great piece of music and making it better. My hat is off to the school, the music director and especially the young men and women who did such a great job. What sound!

[dsmavis]

Thanks for your kind words.

I'm looking forward to the North Penn 2008 winter concert which comes up on December 15th. Both my daughter (senior), and son (sophomore) will be singing in that concert and will be a part of the Hallelujah Chorus.

Nicely done, just watch out for your vowels. They are really wide instead of... 'long' and 'tall'. Also, the pronunciation (sp?) sounds very 'american'. I'm not sure how your director prefers it, but I know that ours is always criticizing on the way we sing our "r" words and "o's"

Gahh... My Orchestra is so dumb... This is what I want to do... I want to combine Orchestra, Band, and Choir all for this song

[Frenchy0612]

North Penn High has probably one of the best chorus ever.

[imonkeyface]

we are playing a part of the halleluja chorus in my eighth grade orchestra, but without the chorus. just the orchestra

[gerardwayy101]

my school does this song every winter, and this chorus sounds amazing. we do ours and invite the school alumni to sing with us because we have a large enough stage. its a beautiful song
