Music in true kingly style this week, with Handel's 'Hallelujah Chorus' in the morning and 'The King shall rejoice' in the evening. Much to my amazement, approximately half of the congregation stood up during the 'Hallelujah Chorus' (unusual for a liturgical setting) - whether that was entirely from tradition or also a welcome excuse due to a long service and hard pews, I was carefully not told. But I'm sure we beat the record for the number of appreciative comments from our traditionally-minded congregation. Fortunately, the organ was mended - such grand music would have sounded rather anaemic accompanied on the piano.
