These Kids Are Awesome

Two videos of the most famous choral piece of all time (and GREAT fun to sing), the Hallelujah Chorus, from Hande's Messiah. This first one is from a tiny village in Alaska. Maybe we should make them a video answer. What would the right response be? From Handel's Judas Maccabeus?



And similarly, but live and fabulously synchronized:


I especially like the "of" that goes up and down. And when they hold the signs higher for the sopranos.

(This much-too-early holiday music post is in honor of Ethan, who I think starts listening to Christmas music in September.)
