Messiah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I haven't blogged in months. But it's whatever. So, last night was The Orchestra of Southern Utah and the Southern Utah Chorale's first performance of the Handel's Messiah. (We perform again tonight at 7:30. It's free. You should come!!) I am one of the lucky ones and have the opportunity to perform a solo. I am singing the Angel Recitatives. I love them! They fit perfectly in my voice and they are all about the angels coming to the shepherds and telling them about Christ's birth.

I love the Messiah. The music is beautiful and tells the most beautiful story, of Christ's life on earth. Whenever I sing, either in the chorus or as a soloist in the Messiah I can't help but feel the spirit and I know everyone else feels the same. Our conductor, Dr. Sun, has such a love and passion for this piece of work. It is so much fun singing for him. Everything he is feeling comes beaming out of his whole body as he conducts. His favorite piece is For Unto Us a Child is Born. He's never told me this but I know it is. The way he conducts it is just beautiful and I can't help but smile. They video taped last night's performance, I hope they got some footage of him conducting that piece. It HAS to go in the DVD. Everyone should have the opportunity to see his joy.

Anyway. I just so blessed and am so grateful for the talents my Heavenly Father has blessed me with. I love singing and I love sharing beautiful music with others.
