Maybe it's just me, but the falsetto voice of the male singer creeps me out; I'm highly uncomfortable with it.  But then and again, as already admitted, maybe it's just me.

Otherwise, a superb show here.

I've posted this from the Knight Arts foundation before.  It still brings chills to my spine and tears to my eyes.  Oh, to have been part of this!

You might have to wade through an ad or three first.

We do that at the conclusion of the 9 PM Mass on Christmas Eve.  We invite members of the congregation up into the choir area to sing with us.  A few years we've had a big group doing this with us.

Handel wrote the Messiah to cover Christ's life, the spreading of the Gospel (Part II), and the Last Day (Part III).  The "Hallelujah Chorus" was part of Part II--The Resurrection.  I've suggested to my choir director and my church's music director that we should do it for Easter Morning, but I keep getting voted down.  It's a lungbreaker to sing.

And, I found out over the weekend that I'll be soloing/dueting on this on Christmas Eve:

The woman I'm dueting with doesn't know that she's doing it . . . yet.  (She'll find out before Thursday.)

As for parts in the song, she's doing the "Child Of The Poor" part, and I'm doing the "What Child Is This" part.

There's a lot of spirit and joie d'vivre in this rendition.

Perhaps it would be good for Lamond on Skins's island to take note of all the black faces.

You know, BSS, despite this being the season of joy and goodwill, I have to protest at this particular youtube.

I wasn't familiar with this phenomenon until you posted this, and after "hearing" it, went further afield for other examples.  It's my impression the singers are supposed to be sneaky and stealthy, mingling among the general public as if part of that same general public, and then suddenly breaking out into song.

In other words, it's my impression it's supposed to be a surprise.

Looking at this one, it seems nearly the whole entire audience had been tipped off that "something" was going to happen.  And so that takes something away from it.

Here's a much much much better example, an audience utterly unaware that this thing's about to happen.

Ooh, you're right.  I never much cared for male voices in that super high range, either. 

This guy reminds me of The Keller Sisters and Lynch.  The first time I heard them I swore up and down it was a female trio.  Wrong.

Every day--oh Hell, about every other hour that I'm awake--I "hear" something new that I've not only never "heard" before, but also never heard of.

There's still two more days before Christmas, but it'd be hard to beat this one:

This sounds more Catholic than what I hear at any RCC parish around me.

Yeah, probably.

Frank, IIRC, that clip that you posted of the food court . . . That mall is less than 2 miles from where I sit typing this.  The Knight Arts Foundation was a tad miffed that others would do the piece in settings similar to what they did in Philly.  My take is that 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.'  They've done other pieces in other malls across the Eastern Seaboard--Toreador in a mall in Charlotte, I think, as an example.

Anyway, while looking for the duet I'm doing tonight, I found this version of the piece.  It's ethereal in its' beauty.

I said something to my choir director about it--we might try it next year.

Putney sounds a bit like Fats Waller in this one.
