For Unto Us A Child Is Born - No. 12


This chorus, bubbling with joy and anticipation, proclaims, using the words of the prophet Isaiah, that a Messiah will soon come who will be so revered that people will use names like "Wonderful," "Mighty God," and "Prince of Peace" when speaking of him!  The video I've chosen is of the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Sir Colin Davis in one of his last appearances before retiring.  This has got to be one of my all-time favorite performances of Messiah.  The performance in its entirety can be found here.
