Oorspronklik

The 'Hallelujah' Chorus, arguably the most famous choral work of the western classical tradition, is the closing number of the second part of Handel's Messiah. Such is the strength of Handel's word setting that this empathic, triumphal paean retains its appeal in spite of the cultural overexposure and controversy to which it has been subjected, remaining a firm favourite with choirs. The premiere of Messiah was in Dublin in 1742 as the high point of a full season of Handel's work. It was a charity event, held in aid of local causes, and in order to get the maximum attendance at Neale's new music hall in Fishamble Street, men were asked to remove their swords, and ladies the hoops in their dresses. The tradition of standing during performances of the 'Hallelujah' Chorus, still indulged at some performances in Britains, is said to have been started by King George II at the work's opening run in London in 1743.

Vertaling

Die 'Hallelujah' Chorus, waarskynlik die mees bekende koorwerk van die westelike klassieke tradisie, is die sluitingsdatum getal van die tweede deel van Handel se Messias. So is die sterkte van Handel se woord instelling wat hierdie empatiese, triomftog loflied behou sy appèl ten spyte van die kulturele bloodstelling en omstredenheid waaraan dit onderwerp is, oorblywende 'n groot gunsteling by kore. Die première van die Messias was in Dublin in 1742 as die hoogtepunt van 'n volle seisoen van Handel se werk. Dit was 'n liefdadigheidsgeleentheid, gehou ten bate van plaaslike oorsake, en ten einde die maksimum bywoning Neale se nuwe musiek-saal in Fishamble Street te kry, is mense gevra om hul swaarde, en dames die hoepels in hul rokke te verwyder. Die tradisie van die staande tydens optredes van die 'Hallelujah' Chorus, nog toegegee by sommige opvoerings in Britains, word gesê te gewees het begin deur Koning George II by die werk se opening lopie in Londen in 1743.
