Hallelujah Chorus for the Hearing Impaired

Posted: 7/3/07 at 3:49pm

A friend just e-mailed this to me and I thought it was a lot of fun.

It's the Turtle Creek Chorale (a male chorus out of the Dallas area) version of "Hallelujah Chorus" and their creative captioning for the hearing impaired:

Very fun! I thought it would get old... but it just got better and better. Gotta love the guy second to last...

Very cute.

I saw the First Baptist Church of Houston do the same thing (in theirs, the signs were held by monks who had "taken a vow of silence") several years ago. It was part of the very lavish Christmas show they put on every year.

I love that when the signs went up high for the second time, everyone laughed just in anticipation of the guy having to jump up again.

That was really wel done.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

You should see it live in a sold-out Meyerson Symphony Center! What a crowd-pleaser!

As a side note, Dr. Tim Seelig, who brought this gem to the Turtle Creek Chorale, is retiring after 20 years as Artistic Director. He will be joining the staff of Hope for Peace & Justice, a ministry of the Cathedral of Hope. He is creating a program called Art for Peace & Justice, which will enlist artists across the county to become ambassadors and educators, prophets and priests, for social transformation.

I can't stop watching this! It's performed with such joy, and it reminds me of all my good memories performing Messiah - including when my high school sang it in Carnegie Hall under Dr. John Rutter! Hallelujah...
