The source of hallelujah
The religious word Hallelujah is generally translated into Hebrew in Chinese, which means to Praise the Lord (English "Praise the Lord"). "Hallelujah" means "praise" in Hebrew, and "Yahya" is short for "Jehovah". Hallelujah means to praise the Lord for you. (Note: Hallelujah means to praise the Lord because of the taboo among Jews, but in general, it is not directly translated as praise the Lord, but as praise the Lord. )< Bible > Music When Christmas comes, you can hear moving songs echoing in the sky, some are quiet and serene, some are pious and solemn, some are lively and happy ... But the most powerful is the immortal chorus HALLELUJAH. "Hallelujah" is a word of joyful praise to God in the Bible. Hallelujah, with this word as the main body of lyrics, is a genius masterpiece of Handel, a master of classical music, a representative figure of Baroque period and a great German musician. This is one of his masterpieces-a chorus in the oratorio Messiah. "Messiah" is a work with religious theme, and its script is compiled with sentences in the Bible, with large chorus as the main body, and more than 5 songs in recitations, arias and other genres, which can be described as a long masterpiece. Handel wrote this work with great devotion and fire-like enthusiasm. In his writing, he was full of thoughts and thoughts, and notes poured out of his pen like a fountain. It took only 24 days to complete the writing of this masterpiece and became a story in the history of music. When he finished writing the chorus "Hallelujah", he was so excited that he burst into tears and said to the servants around him, "I really think I saw the whole kingdom of heaven in front of me, and I saw the great God himself!" In the spring of 1742, "Messiah" held its premiere in Berlin, and it was gradually appreciated by people and became one of the most widely loved music works in the world. On one occasion, Queen Victoria of England also visited the theatre to watch the performance of this work. When the chorus "Hallelujah" echoed in the theater, the magnificent and surging momentum, the passion of returning to Ma Kaixuan like thousands of troops, and the pious and solemn praise of Christ deeply shocked the queen who had made great achievements. At this time, she felt that the song praised the king of kings, the greatest king since ancient times, and she was only the head of a country, so she stood up respectfully and listened. The audience saw the queen so, and they stood up after her. Since then, it has become a habit in many countries in the world. Whenever the chorus of Hallelujah rings, the audience stands in awe to show their respect for the king of kings. Hallelujah is one of Handel's genius works, which has been circulated for more than two hundred years. People often compare its triumphant beginning with the finale of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Beethoven, on the other hand, has great respect for this musician of his predecessors. He once said, "He is the greatest of all of us.".
