Without a doubt, this is the best-known and most-often-sung choral work ever written! Its Hallelujah! chorus ranks with the opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as one of the most universally identifiable pieces of music.</p> Sat, 16 Mar 2013 00:14:20 +0000 WNIU 26963 at http://northernpublicradio.org The RSO Classics Concert Series - “Handel’s Messiah” http://northernpublicradio.org/post/rso-classics-concert-series-rhapsody-and-reveries <p>Classical WNIU is pleased to sponsor the next “Classics Series” performance by our very own Rockford Symphony Orchestra, Saturday, February 9th at the Coronado Theater.
