Hallelujah

Tonight my Tuesday choir had a concert. We performed a French song and selections from Handel's Messiah. We were a little ragged around the edges, but all was forgotten when the Hallelujah chorus started. It's not my favourite part of the Messiah to sing, but it's hard not to feel a rush of overpowering joy when one hundred voices sing while accompanied by an orchestra and every single audience member rises to their feet. This is why I drag myself to rehearsals every week. This is why I've loaded up my downtime with copious quantities of choir activities. I love performing.
