Royal Choral Society: 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Handel's Messiah

If you watch the Hallelujah Chorus don't forget to stand up.

"King George II stood up during the chorus at the Messiah’s 1743 London premiere. Since it was considered good etiquette to stand when the king stood, the audience had to follow suit."
