Handel's Messiah scheduled for Homeplace performance Note: Due to expected inclement weather, the Wed., Dec 5, performance in the Barn has been cancelled. By George Kolbenschlag Homeplace on Green River's Shakespeare in the Barn series will close the season Wednesday, December 5, with a condensed version of Handel's Messiah by the Lindsey Wilson College Concert Choir, accompanied by members of the Commonwealth Musicians. The Choir, under the direction of the college's Gerald Chafin, has performed the program for several years in Columbia, but this will be the inaugural performance in the show barn at Homeplace. Handel's Messiah is a three-part piece of music that tells the story of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. It was written in 24 days in 1741. The first performance was in 1742 as a benefit performance for a hospital. Since then it has become the crowning achievement from the Baroque era and is performed by groups all over the world. This performance will be limited to the "Christmas" section, ending with the renowned Hallelujah Chorus. The Hallelujah Chorus is one of the most loved pieces of music among Christians world-wide, and tradition has it that King George II, attending the London premiere of Messiah in March of 1743, was so moved by the "Hallelujah" that he stood up - and if the king stands, everybody stands. That tradition remains today. Called Messiah-Sing, the program is patterned after similar events in large metropolitan areas in the United States and Europe where audiences join in with the performers and merge together for a grand performance of Handel's masterwork. "We've been doing this for a number of years," said Chafin. "The experience of bonding and community is tremendous for everyone involved." He added, "The barn is the perfect place to recall the amazing Christmas story. I think Handel would approve!" The Messiah-Sing will also be performed Tuesday, December 4, 2018, at the Columbia Baptist Church, 201 Greensburg St, Columbia, KY, at 7pmCT. Reservations for the Homeplace performance where space is limited can be made by calling or e-mailing Phil Hanna at (270) 384-2894) or cphanna51@msn.com. Reservations are not needed for the December 4 performance at the Baptist Church, but space is also limited there. There is no set cost for either performance, but a love offering will be taken. The barn is heated, but it is a barn, and if it's cold, coats are suggested. This story was posted on 2018-11-18 17:40:22
