Messiah Part I - Part II (Beginnig)
Part I
Symphony
Comfort Ye, My People...Ev'ry Valley Shall Be Exalted
And The Glory Of The Lord
This Said The Lord ...But Who May Abide
And He Shall Purify The Sons Of Levi
Behold, A Virgin Shall Conceive...O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings
For Behold, Darkness Shall Cover The Earth...The People That Walked In Darkness
For Unto Us A Child Is Born
Pifa (Pastoral Symphony)
There Were Shepherds... And Io, The Angel Of The Lord...
Glory To God In The Highest
Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter Of Zion
Then Shall The Eyes Of The Blind ... He Shall Feed His Flock
His Yoke Is Easy
Part II
Behold The Lamb Of God
He Was Despised
Messiah Part II (Conclusion) - Part II
Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs
And With His Stripes We Are Healed
All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray
All They That See Him...He Trusted In God
Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart...Behold And See
He Was Cut Off... But Thou Didst Not Leave
Lift Up Your Heads
Unto Which Of The Angels...Let All The Angels
Thou Art Gone Up On High
The Lord Gave The Word
How Beautiful Are The Feet
Their Sound Is Gone Out
Why Do The Nations...Let Us Break Asunder
He That Dwelleth In Heaven...Thou Shalt Break Them
Hallelujah
Part III
I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
Since By Man Came Death
Behold, I Tell You...The Trumpet Shall Sound
Then Shall Be Brought To Pass...O Death...But Thanks Be To God
If God Be For Us
Worthy Is The Lamb... Amen

Tis Well, My Friends
Call Forth Thy Pow'rs, My Soul

Oh Liberty, Thou Choicest Treasure
Come, Ever-smiling Liberty
Oh Judas, May These Noble Views Inspire
Tis Liberty, Dear Liberty Alone
Come, Ever-smiling Liberty

Hail, Hail, Judea, Happy Land!
Thanks To My Brethren, But Look Up To Heav'n
How Vain Is Man, Who Boasts In Fight
