Messiah: For Unto Us a Child is Born (Handel)
Original Key: G Major MP3
The twelfth movement in Handel's Messiah is a joyous SATB chorus celebrating Christ's birth. The vocal parts alternate between quiet sections of imitative polyphony and strong sections of heroic union fanfares. All parts match Handel's original score, and orchestral direction is similar to the well-known recordings by the London Symphony Orchestra.
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given,
and the government shall be upon His shoulder,
and His Name shall be called
:Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty God,
The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace!
