Handel's Messiah in the Cathedral

Rehearsing The Messiah
Last weekend was the annual performance of The Messiah in St John's Cathedral. I love singing The Messiah - I join another choir just for this performance. St John's is a 'new' gothic cathedral - I've put it in quotes as it's been in the building process for around 100 years! But it is now complete and was full of lovely patchwork-like decorations. A few photos follow ...

Wow - that's stunning! It's been years and years since I sang the Messiah - what a sublime work. Unfortunately I have a crap voice, but I still like to listen.
