Yep. If you continue up that street, (and in fact, you can just about see a small bit of it), you'll see where I sing Messiah every bloody year as part of the Dublin Handel Festival... :roll:

I'm not a great fan of Rutter's music I'm afraid and I've also come to this thread far too late but I have to agree with Crucifer over one thing.
Britten's Ceremony of Carols is wonderful. Once heard you'll never get it out of your head again and in a good way too.

I've heard a few times that Handel was a great re-writer of stuff he'd written before.
*shrug*
It works.

Hi Guys,youtube vanced apk
Handel's Messiah is a timeless masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of Christmas with its powerful choruses and moving arias. If you're looking for more Christmas music to get into the holiday spirit, I highly recommend listening to classics like "O Holy Night" sung by artists like Nat King Cole or Celine Dion. For a more contemporary twist, Michael Bublé's "Christmas" album is a delightful choice, featuring his smooth vocals on festive favorites. And don't forget the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Carol of the Bells" for a rock-infused holiday experience. These selections are sure to fill your heart with warmth and joy. :salmon:

The Salmon emoticon is an obvious reference to the incident recorded in the Gospels in which Jesus fed the multitudes with loaves and fishes.

And when I say "obvious", I'm reeeeeally stretching to clutch at straws here.
