LET THEIR CELESTIAL CONCERTS ALL UNITE

"Let Their Celestial Concerts All Unite" is a grand, triumphant chorus from George Frederick Handel's oratorio Samson. In the choir loft, this piece is a thrilling challenge, demanding bright, ringing tone and precise vocal runs from every section. The text calls on the heavens themselves to join in an unending song of praise, painting a picture of an "endless morn of light."

Nigerian choirs often take on classical masterworks like this for major concerts, feast days, or special choral competitions. The sheer energy of the overlapping voices—starting with a bold, unified declaration before breaking into cascading, joyful phrases—makes it a favorite for choirs looking to lift the congregation's spirits and showcase their hard work. It is a song of pure, unclouded rejoicing.
