The Voice of the Lord:
...
And he that shall overcometh shall inherit all things
and I will be his god
and he shall be my son.
Chorus:
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
Give ye thanks unto the lord!
His grace and mercy last for ever!
Amen!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
Blessed are they that walk in the path of righteousness!
Amen!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
Lord, Lord deliver them that have held to Thy commandments!
Amen!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
Praise ye the Lord! Worship Him and thank Him for His mercy!
Amen!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
For His mercy and wisdom illumine all men!
Amen!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
God reigns on high over all mankind and every nation!
Amen!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
Praise the Lord, ye angels, and worship His name!
Amen!
Sing Halleluiah! Sing ye Halleluiah!
Give praise and thanks to God the Lord and sing his praises!
Sing Halleluiah!
Choir of the wise men:
We thank Thee, O Lord, almighty God, which is and which was,
that Thou hast taken unto Thee dominion and reignest.
The peoples were grown impatient, then came thy judgement and the day of judging the dead and rewarding Thy servants, the prophets and the saints and all them that hold Thy name in honour, the small and the mighty.
But also destroy them by whom earth has been defiled.
St. John:
I am John, he who saw and heard all these things and revealed it to you.
Harken to my words! They are true and to be trusted.
For God, God the ruler of spirits showed unto His servant, showed the prophet, all which soon must come to pass.
And truly blessed is he that shall understand the words, the words of the prophet!
Keep ye my prophecy! And the grace of God, the Lord, be with you all!
Amen!
Chorus:
AMEN!

Neben Max Reger und Sigfrid Karg-Elert mein Favourit im "spätromantischen Orgeltriumvirat" ;) ^^
I first heard Schmidt's oratorio through this performance. Subsequently I've listened to a few different recordings, but I always come back to this. There's something about seeing the performance live, and it's incredibly well done. What an amazing work!
My God this is the first time I have ever heard this piece of music and I must say I am very impressed by the professionalism and the incredable quality of the voices of both the soloists and the choir. This is not an easy piece of music for a choir to sing only because it is so difficult to keep them in pitch.
Glücklicherweise hatte ich in der Vergangenheit mehrfach Gelegenheit, diesen Chor und auch diesen fantastischen Dirigenten zu sehen und zu hören. Wenngleich mir manche Tempi ein wenig zu schnell und manche Phrasierungen zu effektheischend erscheinen, so ist das Gesamtbild jedesmal ein Erlebnis gewesen. Es ist erstaunlich, welche Qualität ein Laienchor bringen kann und es ist erstaunlich mit welcher Leidenschaft hier musiziert wird. Respekt vor dieser Leistung.
man muss es einfach regelmäßig hören. Halleluja!
Dramatisch und bewegend zu überraschender Harmonie zur Ehre des Schöpfers.
Überwältigende Musik!!!!!! -ich hoffe inständig, daß wir hier irgendwann die Gelegenheit haben werden, die Aufnahme unter dem Dirigat Horst Steins hören zu können-für mich mit Abstand die beste Aufnahme dieses Meisterwerks!!
Wahrlich beeindruckend und gewaltig!
....das großartigste Halleluja des 20. Jahrhunderts ... überhaupt ein Oratorium, das mit auf die Voyager-Sonde hätte gehört! ... :-D

Absolut !
Genial, genial, maravilhosamente estupendo.
hab das grad mit dem chor u orchester d bayerischen rundfunks gehört - nicht zu überbieten.
@MrLetzark Dieses Werk ist nicht nur unglaublich schwer, sondern auch sehr groß orchestriert, sodass viele glaub ich vor dem Arbeitsaufwand zurückschrecken. Die Kirche war auch bei den Konzerten im Frühjahr 2010 wieder komplett ausverkauft, sodass man kaum davon sprechen kann, dass die Leute nicht auch sowas mal hören wollen und das sogar gern ;)
nicht slecht danke ihr habt mich auf eine neue improvisation gebracht
Franz Schmidt is a genius. Have you heard Wnfried Bonig play the Hallelujah Prelude & Fugue on this theme on the great Klais Organs of Koln?
the women's tone is far too bright, but wow St John soloist was amazing and the orchestra was superb.
Because this Hallelujah chorus hasn't been as overplayed and hackneyed as Handel's I enjoy listening to it more; to me it's still a fresh piece whereas Handel's is decidedly tired - de rigeur every Christmas, yawn. I wonder if the organ prelude based on the same theme is on youtube - I'll take a look, time permitting.

I know you posted 12 years ago but if you are still looking, there are several wonderful performances of the Hallelujah Prelude and Fugue on YT. My personal favourite is by Wayne Marshall kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHZswbicppzbddY.html
I like a lot. What's the choir? Where is it from? Germany?
