<p>Historical note: When the King of England (Handel's employer), heard The Hallelujah Chorus at the first performance of The Messiah, he stood up as he thought it was the most beautiful music. Then the entire audience stood also, seeing their King rise out of his seat. To this day, audiences all over the world keep this tradition, rising out of their seats, and standing for this most beloved chorus.</p>
