Handel's Messiah is a beloved Christmas favorite. But, as Robert Simpson, founder and artistic director of Houston Chamber Choir, tells us, it is oh-so-much more than the "Hallelujah" chorus. Like, 250 pages more. All of which we cover in this half-hour episode. Just kidding! Audio production by Todd “Jolly Old Saint Toddolas” Hulslander with stockings hung by the mixing board by Dacia Clay. Music used in this episode: – George Frideric Handel, Messiah, HWV 56 For more about the Houston Chamber Choir and their upcoming performance of Messiah, go to www.houstonchamberchoir.org.
