That was BEAUTIFUL!
My all time favorite songโฃ
I sang first soprano since 7th grade(1980) and was used to the high vocal ranges.
In 10th grade, (1983) was moved up to Concert choir. The first day of class, (end of August) the teacher hands us the sheet music for this song.
As the teacher took role call, I remember looking at the music and the first soprano notes heading into the RAFTERS! Thought we were going to need ladders to reach them!
By time of the concert in December, I totally enjoyed the song because it was a challenge.
The Christmas concert was at a local church and we got a standing ovation! We were so proud of our selves. ๐
My senior year of high school, (1986) I joined the church adult choir, and our choir director had us do this song for Resurrection Sunday. I was already familiar with it and this time got to really listen to the words.
Between the music and the lyrics, I came to realize what a strong, powerful and beautiful song it truly isโฃ
In the last ten years, I have completely lost my singing voice. ๐ I was never going to make it into a career, but I enjoyed singing so much.
But there will come a day, when the Lord calls me home and I'll NEVER LOOSE MY VOICE AGAINโฃ๐โ๏ธ๐๐ถ

"And He shall reign for ever and ever."
What a masterpiece.
G. F. Handel was indeed a legendary composer.
