An early performance took place there, aiding in popularizing the oratorio. Handel donated the manuscript of the Hallelujah chorus to the Foundling Hospital, too. <br /><br />The recent BBC2 documentary <i>Messiah at the Foundling Hospital</i> covers this and more most commendably. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b041mbw4" rel="nofollow">Messiah at the Foundling Hospital: BBC2</a><br /><br />I include this information in hopes it will increase bidding for your card to spectacular levels.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920423387310935352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-86730297738470926632014-04-30T15:22:51.484+01:002014-04-30T15:22:51.484+01:00That's a very good rule on that sign.
