Watch these videos during the December 7-11 homework week.
Tuesday
"Behold, A Virgin Shall Conceive" and "O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion" are from Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:12, Isaiah 40:9, and Isaiah 60:1. Both of them are in this one video.
"Comfort Ye, Comfort Ye My People" is a recitative from Handel's Messiah. It is from Isaiah 40:1-3. "Ev'ry Valley Shall Be Exalted" is an air based on Isaiah 40:4. These are the first vocal pieces in The Messiah.
Wednesday
"For Unto Us a Child is Born" is a chorus in Handel's Messiah. It comes from Isaiah 9:6.
"The Hallelujah Chorus" is the best known section of Handel's Messiah. The audience always stands when this is sung, because the King of England did this when he attended a performance, and he set the precedent. This words to this song are from Revelation 19:6, Revelation 11:15, and Revelation 19:16.
