Who is creditted with starting the tradition of standing when Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" (From Messiah) is performed?

GE-Raven · « **Reply #166 on:** April 01, 2004, 11:11:43 am »

The Legend of it is that King George the II stood at it's first performance (a benefit for an orphanage in Dublin). Some say he was sleeping and woke up with the load opening of the piece. Others say he just stood out of reverence. Some say he thought it was over. Anyway, when the King stood, so did everyone else. There is some discussion on whether this is REALLY what happened, but the fact is, no one really knows when it started, and it seems to have been practiced for a LONG time. SO...

King George II of england!

Has the buzzer sounded yet?

Carlo Gesualdo

Quite a guy. He has one piece that I studied that has a G-minor/minor 7 chord. And he even uses it as a minor 2 leading to the dominant. You know like Jazz musicians would be doing some 400 years later. He was a FREAK.

O.K. Time for an easy one.

Well it has been 2 years... so here is the answer.

George M. Cohan
