Too cool! Handel's Hallelujah Chorus at Macy's
 

Just this past weekend, shoppers at the the Macy's in Philadelphia (the old Wanamaker building) were surprised when over 600 choristers who were there mingling with regular shoppers suddenly burst into Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. It's pretty awesome.

The Opera Company of Philadelphia was instrumental in bringing it together to perform one of the Knight Foundation's "1000 Random Acts of Culture" which they'll be doing over the next three years across the country. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ - the world's largest pipe organ - the singers burst into song at exactly noon.

In my office bulding we have a ten story atrium. Every year High Schools send their madrigal singers and ensembles to sing at lunch. The Mezzanine has cafeterias and lunch rooms that open to Christian Christmas music for an hour at lunch live. Who would the PC police complain to? The public school music programs have very little secular music.

The Handel's Hallelujah Chorus and Messiah are loaded with fantastic doctrine.
