To Fame Immortal

When a Nigerian choir wants to bring serious Baroque energy to a concert or a special celebration, Handel is always a favorite. "To Fame Immortal" is a thrilling chorus originally from his oratorio *Samson*, and it carries all the triumphant, driving momentum we expect from his classical works. It is a piece that demands vocal agility, crisp diction, and a bright, forward sound from every section of the choir.

The text is a bold call to action, reminding us that "The Holy One of Israel is thy guide." In the choir loft, mastering this piece is always an exciting challenge. The way the voices chase each other through the imitative entries before uniting in those grand, sweeping phrases makes it incredibly rewarding to sing. It is not a standard Sunday Mass hymn, but rather a magnificent concert piece that lets a choir stretch its wings and offer a powerful, majestic sound to the audience.
