Reminds Me Of The "Do It Yourself Messiah" That Was Performed In My Public Highschool Back In 1975 !It Was Put Together By Mrs. Sten Halvorsen. Mr. Halvorsen Was The Director Of The Highschool Choir.
His Wife, Who Passed Away A Week Ago, Tirelessly Produced The "Do It Yourself Messiah" For Decades !
I Had Just Found The TRUE Jesus Christ Of The Holy Bible That Fall/Winter Season--And Remember Belting Out My First "Hallelujah Chorus" Of George Frederick Handel's MESSIAH !
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THIS PUBLIC HANDEL'S "DO IT YOURSELF" MESSIAH--LIKE HANDEL'S ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE OF THE MESSIAH--WAS THAT IT WAS ALL SUNG, WITH THE MOST EXQUISITE OF MUSICAL ORCHESTRATED MASTERPIECES, TO THE HISTORIC AUTHORIZED "KING JAMES" VERSION'S BIBLE ENGLISH !
**"COMFORT YE, COMFORT YE, MY PEOPLE, SAITH YOUR GOD;
SPEAK YE COMFORTABLY TO JERUSALEM; AND CRY UNTO HER, THAT HER WARFARE IS ACCOMPLISHED;
THAT HER INIQUITY IS PARDONED.
THE VOICE OF HIM, THAT CRIETH IN THE WILDERNESS, PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD; MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY FOR OUR GOD.
EVERY VALLEY SHALL BE EXALTED & EVERY MOUNTATIN & HILL MADE LOW--
THE CROOKED STRAIGHT--AND THE ROUGH PLACES PLAIN;
AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL BE REVEALED--AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT TOGETHER" ! ! !
