Can't explain how excited I was when I found this!! ....I thought I never would but here we are. Thanks to my mum I know this rendition part by part because she played this when I was still so younggg.
Glad to see this on YT. I was fortunate to get the dvd when it first came out and I still treasure it. Cynthia Clawson singing I Know That My Redeemer Liveth is the best !!
Actually, this orchestra was from First Baptist Church of Norfolk, VA and we were volunteers, didn't receive any money. We did it to present it for the Glory of God.
Honestly, this whole thing unironically slaps. Time stamps for the wicked and weary: 1:41 Symphony/Overture 6:03 Narration into "And the Glory, the Glory of the Lord" 9:11 Comfort Ye 11:51 Ev’ry valley shall be exalted 15:42 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion 20:32 For unto us a Child is born 24:40 Glory to God in the highest 27:28 He shall feed His flock like a shepherd 31:31 He was despised 35:25 Surely, He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows 38:53 Narration/Behold the Lamb of God 42:23 How beautiful are the feet of them 44:50 Lift up your heads 48:26 I know that my Redeemer liveth 53:27 The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be rais'd 57:52 Worthy is the Lamb that was slain 1:01:09 Hallelujah
I saw this in Auburn Hills Michigan at the Palace (no longer exists). I LOVE this version and must play it every year on repeat before I can feel like it’s actually Christmas.
This is beautiful. I remember first hearing this as a student decades ago. May the Lord bless those who sang, played and produced this. And may many be drawn to our Lord Jesus Christ through this.
It's a fabulous rendition. I have loved it ever since I listened to it on cassette. It pulls in and appeals to thousands of not millions who are not strict classical music listeners
Have adored this version of Young Messiah since it first came out and I shredded the first tape of it we bought from overuse. O my we were ALL so young back then. Am Now wearing out UTube on IPad . Ahh it's worth it!. The choir is magnificent and the sopranos r astonishing. Handl was one uber talented man. No wonder King George the third loved his work. Oh and the groups are wonderful! Glory to God✝✡❤️. Anne Herring and bro Matthew Ward are amazing and PHIL Driscoll blows me away! Can u even begin to imagine Heaven??? Thanku belatedly to everyone who put this joyous uplifting concert together and took any part in it. Bravo. Tina 8/1/2016.
Wow, I haven't heard this for a very, very long time. It still holds up as an awesome union of tasteful arrangement and inspired performance, channeling some nice cues from Mozart's arrangement. The entire thing is very well done and worth listening to, but Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs, O Thou That Tellest, For Unto Us, Worthy Is The Lamb, and Phil Driscoll totally sending it on The Trumpet Shall Sound are a few of my favorites. Thanks for posting! This interpretation of Handel's Messiah was first shared with me by my beloved grandmother, who helped instill a lifelong love of music and reverence for Baroque composers. Our family performed this piece - and a number of others - together countless times over the years, under her direction, and it holds a very special place in our hearts. She was very proud of her family of singers. 🙂 Sadly, she left this world on Christmas Day of this year past. How strange that today is her birthday, and I'd like to think that she's somewhere out there directing me to watch this video. Rest in peace, Nana. We love and miss you very much.
A co worker gave me a cassette tape of this and I was hooked ever since. When tape wore out,I was fortunate to find another copy a Catholic bookstore right at my bus stop going home from work. I play it to keep me sane and uplifted . A wonderful gift , the blessings of music. God bless you for uploading this
This was absolutely my favourite worship album...I literally wore it out. Love all the pieces, but especially “Worthy Is The Lamb”, leading into the incomparable “Hallelujah Chorus”. Thank you for sharing!
I watched Handle's Young Messiah's original airing on the 700 Club. In fact it was Pat Robertson that produced this production through the 700 club. It was wonderful then and it is formidable NOW! BRAVO!
Un amigo mío me regaló este cassette y todavía lo tengo como recuerdo a pesar de estar desgastado por el tanto uso.Maravillosa música.GLORIA POR LOS SIGLOS DE LOS SIGLOS a nuestro único Mesías y Salvador Jesucristo! Amén
Enjoyed listening to this over and over when I was a child, and this introduced me to classical music, though this is a contemporary adaptation. I was privileged to be part of group who sang the whole oratorio when I grew up. Thank you for uploading this. God be glorified through this music. 💗
Wow I've been listening to the audio all this while but this is my first time stumbling upon the video. This was a glorious performance. God bless all the participants
I first heard this in the 1980's and fell in love with it. It depicts the great love God the Trinity has for all humans and what He's done to bring us to Him. Jesus is King!
I love this version. Expression by the singers show concentration, dedication and professionalism given to this great performance, arrangement, work of art and story itself
One oh my must play Christmas CDs for nearly 25 years (on high rotation til it drives my family nuts). Would love to see this 'young' version live one day.
Knew this is an old album. But they make it powerful and everlasting in the ear. The arrangement is absolutely amazing. All praise just for Lord of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Was teaching at a Christian school when i first found this video tape - we watched it over and over in class. I also had the cassette tape for in the car also If you want some expression, watch Phil as he's blowing his horn at 55:00 and following. God bless!
Extrodinary ideed. Going to the many performances in the 1990's came into my life at just the right time. Your plan to bring to a new generation truly worked with me.From Indianapolis, to Chicago, to Milwaukee...I saw them all in this area.
One of my first experiences with contemporary Christian music.. I LOVED it then and was so pleased to see it here and such a good recording.. Thank you so much..
Laurie S this isn’t CCM though. It’s an attempt to modernize late Baroque music by adding synthesizers, a drum set, and 1980s pop singing embellishments
@@liana.chawngthu Actually, this is the original CCM. These are their artists... by that I mean, those featured in CCM Magazine. Elevation and Hillsong are current but post-CCM.
I first heard this GLORIOUS MASTERPIECE on a cassette in 1995-6.. I can’t read Isaiah now without crying or thinking of this wonderful music. I wonder if this is on the heavenly Juke boxes and it will be even more awesome with millions of voices singing it all..At last I’ll have a good voice to sing before the Lord God.♥️Tina Neilsen.
We rehearsed for months for this. Larry White (the Minister of Music and Maestro) worked such long hours and days and deserves SO MUCH CREDIT for his efforts. (And singing backup for Phil Driscoll was quite an honor!)
Love this 1990 version. There's a second version recording out made a few years later. In my college years I went with a group of 50 of my friends to hear it at the then Anaheim Pond. Sandi Patty was one of singers as well as many of the 1990s contemporary Christian singers. I love this modern version of the Messiah as well as the the original. These are my favorite songs from the Messiah, both from 300 years ago and 1990s.
These songs bring tears to my eyes. The scriptures are so powerful. Sang in the choir part in Pittsburgh when they toured in 1993. Such wonderful memories 💖
Hermoso...hace 15 años que buscaba este vídeo...la vi en otro lado y decía q era de 1994...con razón nuca la encontraba...Esta música me llega hasta el alma...
Just one of my all time favorites!!! Always so love Mathew Wards voice, thank you Lord...of course the video is aged and not the best but such an awesome rendition!! Can't wait for heaven ;)
My family had the Christmas tradition of going to Messiah concert every year. This came out and I wore the cassette out! Great version of it, in short form. 😊 One year the university (Cornell) decided they wouldn't do the concert at Christmastime, too politically incorrect. They eventually reversed it for a few years but I don't think they have them anymore, but I dont live there anymore so don't know.
It is about HIM who comes to take all things to Himself. For the kingdoms of this world has become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. And so may every generation raise their voices to sing of HIM who was who is and is come. The MESSIAH. Amen.
How fitting to have Twila Paris sing How beautiful are the feet of them. I love her song, How Beautiful, and it is just perfect she would sing this one. How beautiful the hands that served The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth How beautiful the feet that walked The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful Is the body of Christ How beautiful the heart that bled That took all my sin and bore it instead How beautiful the tender eyes That choose to forgive and never despise How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful Is the body of Christ And as he lay down his life We offer this sacrifice That we will live just as he died Willing to pay the price Willing to pay the price How beautiful the radiant bride Who waits for her groom with his light in her eyes How beautiful when humble hearts give The fruit of pure lives so that others may live How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful Is the body of Christ How beautiful the feet that bring The sound of good news and the love of the King How beautiful the hands that serve The wine and the bread and the sons of the Earth How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful Is the body of Christ
5 seconds that should be 5 hours... beautiful voice, I love this show!! By the way, your name should be announced with the Annie Herring on that time of presentation...
This is the version I was first blessed to hear. We went to the New Young Messiah in Richmond and were very disappointed though we did enjoy Sandi Patty and Carmen.
Aaah... the sounds of Handel's Young Messiah! First heard in the early 90s - I think I wore out a cassette tape or two - I loved it then and still do! It's funny watching this now... mullets abounding! lol
I also bought this on cassette, when it was first released, and I have always loved it. However, I have never *seen* it before, having only the audio all these years. I love that blinding guitar-solo halfway through, and it was great to see it actually being played live! Thank you for posting.
I listened this album since the early 80's and considered one of the best gospel album ever.Glory to God.
May be read as early 90's
❤❤❤
Totally the 👌 ❤
Someone else prays for a new version of this or just me? I love this.
My Christmas isn't complete without playing this classic from my childhood till date...and am in my forties now😅
Still the best ever!
❤
Can't explain how excited I was when I found this!! ....I thought I never would but here we are. Thanks to my mum I know this rendition part by part because she played this when I was still so younggg.
We had this cassette /VHS as a child. I could redo these songs in my sleep. so excited to find this here. Thank youuuuuuuuuu

We had a CD. My kids were homeschooled and I think they hears this a lot.

You succeeded. Praise the Lord and thank you for your service to His Name.
My parents, Glenn and Kathy Ponder are on this, trombone 2 and 3
Hi
Is there any way I can contact that church maybe to get a DVD of that performance...? I would love to get it.
My favourite version of Handel's messiah...beautiful
It's fantastic....my best musical piece
Amazing performance. Best version I’ve listened to since I was 10 . Still modern and timeless.
Still modern and timeless. Agree 100%
@@gabrielaoleatorres835 I found this on Cassette in 1990 and have loved it ever since
No doubts on that one
Honestly, this whole thing unironically slaps.
Time stamps for the wicked and weary:
1:41 Symphony/Overture
6:03 Narration into "And the Glory, the Glory of the Lord"
9:11 Comfort Ye
11:51 Ev’ry valley shall be exalted
15:42 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
20:32 For unto us a Child is born
24:40 Glory to God in the highest

31:31 He was despised
35:25 Surely, He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows

48:26 I know that my Redeemer liveth
53:27 The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be rais'd
57:52 Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
1:01:09 Hallelujah
Thank you GLORIOUS
Thank you for this!
You can trace it from the old testament to revelation
I saw this in Auburn Hills Michigan at the Palace (no longer exists). I LOVE this version and must play it every year on repeat before I can feel like it’s actually Christmas.
I got to see it decades ago at America West Arena in Phoenix conducted by Ralph Carmichael.
This is beautiful. I remember first hearing this as a student decades ago. May the Lord bless those who sang, played and produced this. And may many be drawn to our Lord Jesus Christ through this.
The most anointed version in my opinion.
Perfect for celebrating the birth of The King of Kings
I love this version!
It's a fabulous rendition. I have loved it ever since I listened to it on cassette. It pulls in and appeals to thousands of not millions who are not strict classical music listeners

UHM....THIS IS THE MOST HIDEOUS THING I HAVE EVER HEARD...
@@reneelondonWow I mean what kind of music suits you to say such a horrible thing makes me wonder what kind of human you are

This is one of my most embarrassing guilty pleasures. It was the first "Messiah" anything I ever heard, and my inner 90s child is still in love...
This was absolutely my favourite worship album...I literally wore it out. Love all the pieces, but especially “Worthy Is The Lamb”, leading into the incomparable “Hallelujah Chorus”. Thank you for sharing!

Which song?

A fascinating historical document on musical (and fashion) tastes 25 years ago!
Soul lifting and inspiring and fresh as fresh as ever. Its so heavenly listening to this every time.
In my opinion this truly the best version and I saw in in concert and have loved it ever since.

Timeless... Still my favorite Handel Messiah version
How fitting to have Twila Paris sing How beautiful are the feet of them. I love her song, How Beautiful, and it is just perfect she would sing this one.
How beautiful the hands that served
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
Is the body of Christ
How beautiful the heart that bled
That took all my sin and bore it instead
How beautiful the tender eyes
That choose to forgive and never despise
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
Is the body of Christ
And as he lay down his life
We offer this sacrifice
That we will live just as he died
Willing to pay the price
Willing to pay the price
How beautiful the radiant bride
Who waits for her groom with his light in her eyes
How beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives so that others may live
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
Is the body of Christ
How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news and the love of the King
How beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread and the sons of the Earth
How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful
Is the body of Christ
Espetacular!
De tirar o fôlego. Essa é a mais linda história do mundo.
I saw this when it aired over The Family Channel. Nice seeing this video.
It was 2003 when I first heard it. Now it was 2020 and I still love it. From Mizoram
Beautifull concert its a pleasure hearing It God bless you thank you
The drummer is such a vibe
My mom, my sisters and I loved this! It’s dated, but I still love it and think it’s a great iteration of Handel’s Messiah.
Awesome!!! The Tomb Is Empty!!!Happy Easter!!!
The best ever!!I remember watching this live, was so amazed. So anointed !
love this so much! thank you. the more you listen to it the more it really grows on you. can't imagine the holidays now without the young messiah!
Much more commitment when sung without books. Hey, well done!
Brought tears to my eyes
Bring back my childhood memory....i use to sing along playing this album. I love this album more than the later album...
Beautiful morning to listen even in October.👍🙏
My 5 seconds of "fame" starts at 40:20 🤣🤩😂 I was pregnant at the time
You all did a great job. I love this so much
Beautiful voice!
5 seconds that should be 5 hours... beautiful voice, I love this show!! By the way, your name should be announced with the Annie Herring on that time of presentation...

You sound wonderful! Smooth and controlled voice!
2019🙋♂️
Well… It’s that time of year again. Fire up the young Messiah, which is my favorite thing to listen to during the Christmas season.
I played this almost every morning of my 5 years i spent in school. Always refreshing and rejuvenating.❤❤
My childhood friend brought the cassette tape to our house and Needless to say, he didn't leave with it. It changed ownership. Love this so much
This is the version I was first blessed to hear. We went to the New Young Messiah in Richmond and were very disappointed though we did enjoy Sandi Patty and Carmen.
AMAZING!!!
I love the duet with Sheila Walsh and Kurt Russell. Never knew he sang! :)
It’s Russ Taff 😅
These Brothers of mine! And that astonishing voice of Rick Florian
Two of my favorite things , the 80s music and Messiah by Haendel!
This is my childhood right here😊
Aaah... the sounds of Handel's Young Messiah! First heard in the early 90s - I think I wore out a cassette tape or two - I loved it then and still do! It's funny watching this now... mullets abounding! lol
What a great orchestra
The BEST version of the Hallelujah Chorus ever!
I also bought this on cassette, when it was first released, and I have always loved it. However, I have never *seen* it before, having only the audio all these years. I love that blinding guitar-solo halfway through, and it was great to see it actually being played live! Thank you for posting.
I just came across this... wow, this program sure grew into a big event over the years.
Matthew Ward, First Call, Imperials, Russ Taff & Sheila Walsh, Wayne Watson, Twila Paris, Cynthia Clawson and Phil Driscoll
Don't forget beautiful Annie Herring, Matthew's sister...
@@DsUrgert White heart was in there. My teenagers loved this!! Part of there childhood. I had an 8=track, wore out.
