- Messiah (HWV 56), the English-language oratorio composed by George Frideric Handel in 1741, is structured in three parts. The wordbook (also called libretto or text) was supplied by Charles Jennens.
Part I begins with the prophecy of the Messiah and his virgin birth by several prophets, namely Isaiah. His birth is still rendered in words by Isaiah, followed by the annunciation to the shepherds as the only scene from a Gospel in the oratorio, and reflections on the Messiah's deeds.

I am an organist in India.I have sung Messiah since 1965 for many times. The key boards are amazing. The soprano - - she sang like an angel. The be honest, your choir is angelic. God bless you all.
Thanks boss u are welcome
What a heavenly performance, a string Orchestra replaced by 5 organs! God bless all People of Ghana. Blessings from Holland
One of the most beautiful, magnificent performances of Handel’s Messiah I have ever heard!
Listening to this December 23 in Los Angeles, 2023. I grew up attending the Messiah sung by the Arizona Chorale in Tempe, Arizona. My mother with her stunning soprano voice sang in the chorale all my life. I had the incredible privilege to visit the beautiful church in Dublin where Handel first had this performed, and where the congregation was so moved at the conclusion of the Hallelujah chorus that they spontaneously rose to their feet in thunderous applause, establishing a tradition now two centuries old.
Thank you for sharing the grace of this incredible performance with the world.
"Comfort ye" has always been my favourite aria from the first time I heard the Messiah. Listening to this young man brought tears to my eyes and transported me to heaven. The keyboards in place of a full orchestra is an amazing achievement. I will come back to this often. Thank you Gramophone, thank you 🇬🇭!! From a grateful Zambian 🇿🇲
Thank you my brothers and sister from Ghana. This Handel was truly inspired by the Spirit of God. This is the Gospel of truth told in Music. The entire life of Jesus in beautiful voices of beautiful people of Ghana.
God bless you all.
As I listen to this again. I ponder the amount of practice and discipline that is required to perform this piece.
This concert was absolutely beautiful, it brings back so many memories when I sang on the church choir as a teenager. Amazing talent is in the Gramophone Chorus, I pray they continue to inspire others with their amazing gift.
Psalm 150
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
God bless from Oregon, USA!
We have been blessed by this today on our Zoom church in a corner of the UK. My heart was taken up to the Lord.
Gorgeous! The young men on the keyboards/full orchestra are EXTRAORDINARY✨✨✨
It took a while to realize that this is not a full orchestra. This is beautiful
i love the smiles on their faces while singing. thank you so much, you all put a smile in my heart and face by doing this outstanding performance 🥰🙏
Thank you very much for giving the world this comforting beautiful concert in these Covid-19 times! Only He can comfort mankind and proved so by giving his precious Son Jesus. Brothers & sisters, God bless you all! 🌷 Love from Holland
Just thrilling! Glory to God in the Highest!
WOW, I LOVE THE ALTO GUY... HE'S SUPERB
WOW...
🎼🎵🎶🎵🎹🥁
Awesome performance of the Messiah. Bravo 👏🏽
Soli Deo Gloria!
I love the orchestra 5 keyboard concept.
Peace on earth ! Peace, Peace, Peace.
Be and stay blessed my brothers and Sisters.
Unbelievable performance of Handel's Messiah. Wonderful! This shows hard work pays. There is no doubt these brethrens spent sleepless nights and sacrificed their personal lives greatly in order to produce this!
right , right and 1000 times( X ) you are right Chris Kanyane . that's my opinion also :" a lot of work " and so incarned . I 'm cellist and traverso 's player in France : i know every day the difficulties to play correct (just , good ton etc ) . As white man : that's not naturel (obviously) and easy to product in Africa or here in Europe this oratorio . They have made a very good work : God bless Them and you too Chris
Isn’t this incredible!!! ???
This is music worth more than a million times millions views. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To discover this on Christmas Eve day was a great joy. We can never have enough versions of this masterpiece so thankyou Ghana for your superb contribution. Bill Taylor. Scotland.
Wonderful rendition shows a commitment to a spirit of excellence !
This church is worth a pilgrimage. They've build it and now people will come.
Yes!!!!!! the symphony part is absolutely spot on!!! Can't believe the crisp sound from keyboard ….baroque style!!! I've sang
Handel's Messiah 7 times ( alto) and I have to say
the talent is jaw dropping.
“He shall purify” … best I’ve ever heard in my life
Delightful, dear brothers and sisters!
You BLESSED us all! Thank you for so joyfully declaring the glory of our God!
Having sung Messiah with a big London choir, such a privilege, I know the music well. The chorus "His yoke is easy, his burthen is light" is technically the most difficult (in my view) and often not included as a result. Their rendition is splendid, sharp and joyful. These performers love doing Messiah, I am sure they worked incredibly hard to achieve such a good performance. Pure joy on my side.
Today, I listened again to selections from the Messiah, performed by Gramophone. So much energy--an energy that is infectious. I was deeply moved again! More so than by any other performance I've heard.
The soloist Ebenezer Antwi is jewel. Beautiful voice coming from rising Africa
The whole thing is amazing!!!!! Like heavenly host of angels!!!!!!!! Thank you 🙏
When seeing and hearing this performance, I'm proud to be a human being. When a group such as this appears on our planet, I know that remarkable forces have been at work. This performance featured an outstanding choir, soloists, keyboardists, and conductor. Everyone was full of energy and joy! This is now my favorite performance of the Messiah. I am the choir director at the First United Methodist Church in Grants, New Mexico, USA
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful. Well done!! Glory to Jesus Christ!!
YES! hallelujah with my Christian brothers and sisters way over here from Florida . thank you for uploading this.
Thrilling rendition of For Unto Us a Child....Gave me goosebumps. What a fantastic performance of Messiah - the synths are so ethereal in sound, very other worldly, and the performers look like they are so enjoying themselves.
This is Heavenly, God Bless this Group.
Wonderful! Beyond the very high level of the rendition I am moved by the intensity of everybody's committment in singing , playing and conducting this Haendel's masterpiece.Every single singer and every single player seems to believe with all is mind, with all his heart and with all his strenght the words from the Holy Scripture they are singing and playing: Awesome and really encouraging to me. We are the old, skeptic and tired Europe, but I feel that Africa will refresh and save us.
Such a blessing! The more I listen I realize I am nothing & the Lord is everything. I am so blessed I weep sometimes. The Lord is king supreme!
Great singing soloists!
You are perfect ! Thanks for this performance! Beautiful!
Handel is my favorite composer ❤.
Yes, and we waiting that our Lord comes.
What a wonderful rendition of a marvelous and holy work! I applaud the amazing art of this wonderful group and their heart-felt faith in performing it.
I ALWAYS listen to Handel's Messiah Part 1 EVERY Christmas Season! I just discovered this amazing choir from my homeland Ghana this 2023 Season! Thank you, Guys! You make me proud to be a Ghanaian! BTW One of the best, best renditions of "Rejoice...." I ever heard! Not to mention the "He shall lead His flock" The Counter-tenor is totally world-class! Good job all of you! Bravo! Bravo!
Будьте благословенны, Санкт Петербург ❤❤❤!
I'm very happy for listening this beautiful and musical performance. Bravi tutti and God Bless you all!;
Awesome rendition.Glory to God.God bless Gramophone Ghana
This is truly heartwarming. Amazing soloists. Amazing instrumentation. Excellent choir and a Dynamic conductor. God bless Gramophone Choir, one of Ghana’s finest. Keep praising the Lord.
heart ❤wish to be among this choir ❤️❤️
A HUUUUUGE FAN OF GRAMOPHONE GHANA RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! Instant love, the first encounter. Thank you from South Korea!!!!
God bless you all for this. Kind regards from a Tanzanian brother.
I love the orchestra, the 5 pianos are amazing and beautifully presented, ministration and unique voices ❤🎉
*Wow. Splendid. An hour has never felt so short.*
Thank you for making my day. I woke up with For unto us a child is born in my heart sung as chorister in church many years ago. Unique performance 👏 👌. God bless you all for blessing us 🙏
The soprano soloist is on point 😘 crystal voice
Well done alto soloist, sounds like James Bowman
The first essential is the knowledge and discernment that messiah is not a performance, but a dedication, as such it is glorified by believers who’s joy is observed in this recording.
Definitely,I agree with everything said,a fantastic performance by this Choir, technically spot on, nice feeling, vibrant, diction is clear, conductor and instrumentalists lead and manage to complete Choir performance, together with Soloists.
Excellent, uplifting and inspiring.
This work lifts my spirit whenever I listen to it 🥺
I am seeing this video for the first time. This choir is dynamic. Beautiful voices and wonderful musicians. I loved all of it. The Handel's Messiah has been my favorite Christmas music from since I was a child. Every year at Christmas time I try to attend at least one of the Handel's Messiah performances. Bravo well done!!
The alto !! stunning !!
We attempted this at Accra Academy 70years ago with much less distinction. Bravo to these heroes. Ablordeppey.
Beautiful voices, music, and all for the glory of God. Let your talents praise the Lord. God bless. I enjoyed it very much.
What a beautiful experience for our family on Easter Sunday here in Sydney, Australia. We are a musical family and are completely transfixed and drawn into your amazing performance. Many thanks and I hope you are all keeping well through these troubled times. Many warm regards, David and family
Great admiration also from Melbourne, Australia
My problem with Handel has always been that he (like me) was an atheist. These people are commited and devoted Christians, And I love them for it. It is superb.
❓️
This isn't true. Research for example, the story behind the Messiah and how Handel came about the song
IT seems to me, that they are not only interpreting Händels music... They are celebrating our Lord himself
I am just amazed at the full "orchestra" sound produced by the keyboards. The choir and soloists are delightful. Kudos to the conductor!
Wow, the countertenor is world-class material with proper coaching.
Jesus: fully God and Fully Man....SO beautiful, as is this video!
watching from the Philippines. congratulations 🎉
💕 Dec26th'21 & loving Handel's Messiah! Sung by our OWN brothers & sisters; blessing us immensely here in London 🇬🇧
What a blessing this music is! Thank you to all the people who brought this wonderful music to us, from the live performance to the recording that allowed all of us around the world to watch and listen in awe.
O Brave New World That Has Such People in It !! Bless All of You !!
Stellar performance! God bless you all for blessing us with your talents.
The first time I hear classic without orchestra. Great piece of work with key boards. God bless.
Just subscribed....this makes me proud as a Ghanaian. God bless you all.
I am an American and this makes me proud of Ghana too! Great performance! What a blessing!
they can be proud , yes :( ex) christian and white people have forgetten the Messiah and their faith in God as their culture . they are believing in bad things
yes dear Anita , God bless you and all these women and men : they have a lot of merite and they are courageous . pionniers !!
Handel himself would be bowled over by this celebration of his epic work! Ablordeppey
Well done Choir...outstanding presentation and performance. Really blessed...Indeed, "He shall purify" us in this pandemic period. You have provided a ray of light in this dark time. God bless you all
Just simply wonderful!
Merci merci
et oui Olivier Peyrat , en tant que musicien français , j'ai un peu honte d'avoir sous estimé ces gens , ce continent . On a vraiment envie de les aider musicalement , de les prendre dans nos bras . Ils sont sur la voix de l'excellence . Le Ghana est un grand pays, les Evangélistes ont bien labouré et on peut entendre le résultat (à méditer ) : qu'on y envoie des professeurs de musique d'Europe et d'ailleurs qui n'ont aucun avenir professionnel dans un pays qui n'aime pas la musique classique et qui ne croit plus en rien .... "merci , merci" aussi : c'est une grande joie de les avoir découvert
What a day it will be when all flesh will sing together around the throne of God . I want to be there and hope that the young men and women in this group will all be there . Jesus died on Calvary’s cross to make it possible. Keep singing the beautiful songs of Zion and God bless you all.
God bless your talents! So amazing performance dear friends from Ghana!
This is by far the best Classical concert by an African choir i have seen. from sound, vocals, accompaniment, delivery. This is magnificent!
chidubem nriagu you should check Nairobi chamber chorus. I do not know if they have their stuff on youtube though
Kindly do share with your friends in Nigeria
How many "by an African ..." have you seen? Just asking for a friend please!
This is such an amazing performance of The Messiah! I greatly enjoyed it!!
God bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤
Hallelujah Amen 🙏
Truly wonderful and clearly the result of both talent and hard work. I will visit this ensemble again.
If this was performed every Christmas season in Ghana's Christian Cathedral, l would every year, board a plane from America to hear it.
Powerful! Wonderful! Bravo!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
Fantastic performance. Handel and Christ are proud of you. Enjoying from Kenya.
Wonderful anointed performance.
Wonderful, magnificent, glorious,splendid and magical.
What a rendition! Simply leaves me breathless. Most beautiful music, most beautiful message, absolute top performance.

2022 who is there ???
God bless Gramophone ❤️
This is amazing!!!..
Absolutely perfect
I have attended several performances of the Messiah in the UK and in Australia and this performance is fantastic - as good or better than any of them!
The alto soloist that sang But who may abide-Weldone for your voice,I was amazed..
He's actually a countertenor. Simply amazing.
Greetings from India. God bless! 😊
매우 놀라운 연주입니다. 연주자들의 수고가 하늘에 닿기를 바랍니다. Glory to God. thank you very much.
Best version of "His yolk is easy" that I have ever heard!
His Yoke is easy and his Bourbon is light!
Good job, everyone!
"And He Shall Purify"! A song for our pandemic time! My favorite religious song! "Surely", is my other favorite. I, too, would like to experience this live in Ghana!
I enjoyed this so much. Wonderful performance!
🙏
Absolutely incredible! Thank you.
Yes Karen ; i am surprised as you
@@eliaskorcia9489
You are confused not surprised.
thank's ! Karen , i'm a french (musician )guy and my english is too bad . I have wanted say that blacks (africans ) people must be pushed for the high and the best . In 2 , solists and choeur are very good and they have touched me : it's a challenge for every body . thank to understand . cdlt
@@eliaskorcia9489 You are correct, and your English is fine. Although, I believe that Africans need not be held to a higher standard. We should all live on an equal plane.
Wow! Amazing keyboard work!
Grateful to have found this marvel -Will be looking for more of this fantastic chorus from Motherland Africa !
Well done to you all. I have really enjoyed the performance. Woooooooooow
What an extraordinarily beautiful voice!
Wonderful rendition. I will find out more and listen to Gramophone Ghana.
Soul transforming! God bless you.
