Messiah: Glory to God in the Highest (Handel)
Original Key: D Major MP3
Movement 17 from Handel's Messiah, this is a joyous SATB chorus, complete with trumpets, woodwinds, strings, and harpsichord. The text of "peace on Earth, goodwill towards men" is perfect for Christmas. Orchestral direction reflects the London Philharmonic Orchestra recording. Includes mvmnt. 16 (an 8-measure soprano recitative) as an introduction.
And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host,
praising God, and saying
:Glory to God in the highest,
and peace on earth,
goodwill towards men!
