Messiah:O THOU THAT TELLEST-Eleni Voudouraki
THE MESSIAH by Georg Friedrich Händel
10. "O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion"
Eleni Voudouraki , mezzo-soprano
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Emmanuel,
God with us. [Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23 ]
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion,
get thee up into the high mountain;
O thou that tellest good tidings to
Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength;
lift it up, be not afraid;
say unto the cities of Judah:
Behold your God! Arise, shine,
for thy light is come,
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
[Isaiah 40:9; 60:1]
