About This Song

About "Handel: Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 2, Scene 3: Chorus. "Lift Up Your Heads"" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge

The gates swing wide in a blaze of choral glory. Handel's antiphonal writing sends 'Lift up your heads' ricocheting between voice parts, a triumphant call to open the doors of heaven. The music swells with regal confidence, the tension of the passion now transformed into the pomp of ascension.
