The Messiah

Although since the Hallelujah Chorus consists of a huge chorus belting out the word "Hallelujah" over and over again, you'd think the name might stick.

It's a cliche in films and TV for divine manifestations and suchlike - to such an extent that when it's played in such circumstances now it's usually a joke. Thus, it is the piece of music that is played before the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch explodes...

Plotinus, are you stating, for the record, that Stapel is not right?

Awesome music; too bad we can't post a download link for those who don't know it.

That would be stealing. Handel is quite clearly on the record as saying he is against mp3 downloads of his work.
Everyone who hasn't heard it: go and buy a recording of it, and listen to it. NOW! That way, you hear a great piece of music, and Handel gets the proper royalties he deserves.

I have never heard the Hallelujah chorus.

I bet you have! It's near impossibility not to have heared it.
