Answer 12

I guess you have a HANDEL on that situation now, right???

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Anyways... while I LOVE the piece, I HATE when people keep using "The Hallelujah Chorus" as a piece of CHRISTMAS music...it is NOT. It was written as the music for EASTER.

The appropriate section of The Messiah for Christmas is, "For unto us a child is born."

Just my little pet peeve!
