'Hallelujah' Chorus from Handel's Messiah

This CHORUS must surely be one of the most famous pieces Handel wrote. It demonstrates the

variety of textures he like to use in his choral writing.

The first 'Hallelujah's are sung HOMOPHONICALLY (BLOCK CHORDS) by SATB Voices

The words 'for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth' are sung twice by all the voices and instruments

in UNISON. Different voices then take up the melody in turn while the rest of the choir interject

with lively 'hallelujahs'

HOMOPONIC writing returns on

'the Kingdom of this world'

Another new theme is introduced for the words 'and he shall reign for ever and ever'. This theme is

treated in IMITATION as each voice enters in turn with the melody, beginning with the basses.

This is also called FUGAL writing.

The phrase 'King of Kings and Lord of Lords' is sung on one repeated note by the sopranos, each

time it is repeated it is sung at a higher pitch as a sequence bringing the music to a tremendous

finale.

The 'Hallelujah's' return bringing the movement to a jubilant close.
