The Talleys' Live Series Continues with "High and Lifted Up / Hallelujah Chorus"


The Talleys' Live Series Continues with 'High and Lifted Up / Hallelujah Chorus'

Arden, North Carolina (April 28, 2023) — Continuing on with their second retrospective series of live recordings distributed exclusively to streaming platforms, Horizon Records’ The Talleys look back to nearly 20 years ago, when they first recorded an inspired weaving together of “High and Lifted Up” and the “Hallelujah Chorus” from G.F. Handel’s epic 18th century oratorio, “Messiah.” 

With its brassy opening and propulsive rhythm, “High and Lifted Up” might seem like an unlikely candidate for such a treatment, yet as the reception of The Talleys’ first recording of the medley showed, Roger Talley’s arrangement binds the unexpected combination together seamlessly. Gliding effortlessly between unison passages and rich harmonies, the trio offers a simple, insistent distillation of the Gospel that bridges the centuries — and, as the reaction of the audience in this more recent recording proves, lifts listeners into the full measure of joy in its message.

“I’ve always loved many different musical styles,” notes Roger.Handel’s ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ always intrigued me because of its complexity and joyous feeling. We recorded an album of praise music several years ago, and I combined it with ‘High and Lifted Up’ into a showstopper moment. I love that audiences still stood up even though our version is much more contemporary than Handel’s original version. It’s still to praise our Lord!”
