beyond-the-chrysalis:

brian-slato replied to your post: ‘Thou shalt break them~ thou shalt break them with a rod of iron…’

‘Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their yokes from us.’

I am not surprised that you knew of this song, Brian Slato.

Such a marvelous choral work cannot go unnoticed. I’m glad you have such a good taste in music.
If I may ask, what part of Handel’s Messiah do you enjoy the most? I am quite fond of ‘Behold and See’ myself…
