I love Messiah, fight me. It's even more fun to sing than it is to listen to. And yeah, some of the solos aren't my favorite, but the choral music is loads of fun. A favorite solo Christmas tradition of mine is to listen to Messiah while reading All Seated on the Ground by Connie Willis. What's that about, you ask?
