Hallelujah!

A video to lift the spirits and remind us of the reason for the season.

View the video.

Committing a random act of culture, the Opera Company of Philadelphia rallied 650 singers to surprise shoppers at Macy's Department Store in Philadelphia. At noon, the Wannamaker Grand Court Organ, the world's largest functional pipe organ, struck up the "Hallelujah Chorus."

The "Hallelujah Chorus" closes the Easter portion of The Messiah. Composed in 1741 in just 24 days, the The Messiah is George F. Handel's most famous oratorio.
