Messiah Sing-in

So every year at our Christmas concert, the Band, Choir, and Orchestra play Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. It's a great song and so when my friend, Dan, from MV invited me to go with him and his family to the Utah Symphony's Messiah Sing-in, I was very excited. I thought I knew something of the Messiah, but when Mr. Minert (Dan's dad) passed out the score I was suprised to find it was literally a BOOK!! Yeah.

Dan and I had a good time singing, even though our throats hurt afterwards. The program didn't have us and the soloists sing all of Messiah but I don't think I've ever sang that much in my life. If we had sang all of it, I wouldn't be able to speak today. And Handel wrote it in a month!! I wish I was that brilliant.
