Subject:  MUSIC FUN: An anachronism that beats them all!


Late Saturday night, after returning from Easter Vigil, I turned on the TV
and caught the last half-hour of "The Greatest Story Ever Told," depicting
the resurrection of Christ and his Ascension.

And what was playing as the underscore for these final scenes?

"Hallelujah" from Handel's "Messiah"... which was composed 1,700 YEARS
after the events being depicted.

Hooray for Hollywood! And Max Von Sydow, whose Christ was quite dignified
and spiritual.
