My favorite radio station plays a thing called Kids' Classical Hour every Saturday morning at 9:00. It's on right now, and I never fail to learn something myself. Today is about Handel and his fabulous The Messiah. You can listen right hear. It's part of a satillite feed out of Boston - you may have it locally, too.Part of the legend of The Messiah is that the king was so taken by the Hallelujah Chorus that he stood to listen to it - and of course, the rest of the audience stood because the king did so. To this day, every audience stands when the Hallelujah Chorus is performed.
