Joyful Joyful – Sister Act 2 Choir

Handel’s Messiah is a holiday classic that provides an instant feeling of exhuberance. There have been quite a few flashmobs singing the song’s famous chorus at malls across America – to the delight of the surprised audience.

Traditionally, the Messiah is sung in full soprano with operatic tones that waft into the ceiling. This, however, is a different take. The movie Sister Act 2 would have been a fun little flick that was forgotten as quickly as it was seen, but for this. This iconic movie performance not only celebrates the Messiah with a twist, but also helped millions of teens rediscover classical music.

And, it was America’s introduction to future 5-time Grammy powerhouse Lauryn Hill.
