Messiah - Good tidings to Zion - Margaret Maye
Uploaded by: Gary65
Video Description:
Christmas with Handel, Messiah, Margaret Maye singing.Written by George Frideric Handel,it is his one of the most famous creations and is among the most popular works in the Western choral literature. In September 1741, George Frederick Handel (1685-1759) sat down to begin work on a new composition. Just 24 days later, he had finished what some consider the greatest musical work of all time.
Handel was German by birth, but had spent many years in Italy, where he had learned to write operas. By 1738 he already had about 40 to his name. He settled in London, and soon became England's most popular and successful composer.
O thou that tellest good Tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high Mountain: O thou that tellest good Tidings to Jerusalem,
lift up thy Voice with Strength; lift it up, be not afraid: Say unto the Cities of Judah, Behold your God. O thou that tellest good Tidings to Zion, Arise, shine, for thy Light is come, and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. (Isaiah 40:9; Isaiah 60:1)
I thought it was just amazing on America's got talent 2008 season 3 on NBC where Neal (neil)E Boyd sang Opera, singing I Believe NESSUN DORMA! During Vagas week top 40 Neal was amazing singing Somewhere ( there's a place for us, hold my hand and where half way there, Somewhere....) from West side story. In top 10 Neil did a good job singing "all by myself". As usual Nuttin but Stringz were a fan and judge favorite along with Neil. In the final 5 show it came down to Neil and Eli Mattson with Neil taking the prize.
Michael Hirte on Das Supertalent 2008 playing I believe Erstausstrahlung (ava Maria)was amazing.
I have also posted to YOUTUBE some videos of Margaret singing as well as videos of her speaking about Epilepsy.
One of my favourite videos of Margaret singing is "Dust in the wind" she sounds great and visually the video came out really good.
