[QUOTE="texan, post: 954166, member: 38206"] [B]On this day, March 23rd 1743, It was the first London performance of Handel’s [I]Messiah[/I], and King George II was in the audience. In the middle of the [I]Hallelujah Chorus[/I], the King rose to his feet in appreciation of the great piece! The entire audience followed suit out of respect for the King. And so began the custom of standing during the singing of the [I]Hallelujah Chorus[/I]. For those not familiar with this chorus, I know you have heard it many times on TV, and might not known where it came from: [video=youtube;Abcgpn2UTV8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abcgpn2UTV8[/video] [/B] [/QUOTE]
