Oh, I love this video- so jouyful!! And yes, I wept (what can I say? I spent umpteen million years in Catholic school, you know.) and I clapped when the chorus lifted their hands! And when the mama reached up and took her son's hand- oh!

Thanks for sharing this, LK! I love the Hallelujah Chorus, and I didn't even go to Catholic school!

I just posted this on my blog and wrote essentially the same thing - cried all the way through it.

Here's another along the same lines. Since I performed in Handel's Messiah for a couple of holiday seasons, hearing these never fails to move me and make me sing along. Enjoy!

Never fails to raise the chill bumps all over me. Grew up Baptist, sang in the chorus for years. Wonderful, wonderful memories. Thank you!

my daughter sings at the Grotto here in Portland Oregon next week... her first year in a Catholic school (it is a struggle for her) - being accepted into the choir sharing the music is what is holding her up and helping her cope. We both cried watching this today.
As always the things that fill your heart - the things you share - always always fill mine too.
Hugs,
Christine
