COMPOSER: George Frideric Handel
TITLE: Messiah HWV56 - highlights
TRACKS: Overture. Comfort ye my people. Ev'ry valley shall be exalted. And the glory of the Lord. Behold a virgin shall conceive. O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion. For behold darkness shall cover the earth. The people that walked in darkness. For unto us a child is born. Pastoral Symphony. There were shepherds abiding in the field. Glory to God. Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened. He shall feed his flock. His yoke is easy. Surely he hath borne our griefs. And with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. Thy rebuke hath broken his heart. Behold and see if there be any sorrow. He was cut off out of the land of the living. But thou didst not leave his soul in hell. Hallelujah. I know that my Redeemer liveth. Since by man came death. Behold I tell you a mystery. The trumpet shall sound. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Amen.
