    Maybe the reason we get chills when we hear them is because they are not just singing a song, they are bearing their testimonies of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

    I am amazed that the orchestra is not paid. In Canada (Toronto) the Mendelssohn is not paid, but the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is. My deepest respect and gratitude to these musicians for donating their professional skills and time to the Church. My heart felt prayers and thanks go out to you. A hundred thousand blessings to you all.

      I was a chorister for 31 years and sang the great "Messiah" many times during that time. I considered it a privilege to be able to sing that kind of music. I never took a dime for it, nor wanted to, and I know most chorister feel the same way.

I think I was 7 or so when Mother and the rest of the choir put on Handel's Messiah and Dad took me while Mom was up there singing.I thank God for my parents who loved me enough to show me the way to salvation..
