Music Track - Halleluia
There is really little choice for this week's music track bearing in mind the season. The only difficulty is the choice of rendition. I was tempted by Andre Reiu's performance but it is a little too fast and also somewhat over the top. So this is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It's hard to beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4BWhvIlFVE The tradition of the audience standing for this goes back to the reign of George II. Now, whether he stood out of respect or to stretch his legs has never been agreed, but the tradition of standing is still marked to this day 200 years later.
