That makes me proud to live near Philadelphia. Random Act of Culture!
When I was in high school (in MA), my choir ( which was huge compared to the school's population, about 10 percent) every year in December and April would sing a selection from Handel's Messiah. By the time one graduated, one had sung every full-choir part to the Messiah. But every year we did this chorus. So this brings back many memories. And one need not believe the words to appreciate the genius of the music and the joy encapsulated by it.
