Voices Only: A festive chorus of hallelujahs
Welcome to the Voices Only Christmas Extravaganza — Part 2. Last week I shared some of my favorite a cappella Christmas videos and asked you, dear readers, to share your favorites with us.
In response, one reader quickly asked, “Where’s Christmas in the Bible?” Well, Matthew 1 and Luke 2 are good places to start. But I’m guessing the real question here is, “Should Christians celebrate Christmas?” As I wrote in the previous post, that’s a topic that we’ve covered before — here and here. And my friend Josh Kingcade, education minister for my congregation, the Memorial Road Church of Christ in Oklahoma City, just released a podcast on this subject as part of his “Reading the Bible Responsibly” series:
Thankfully, one reader shared a song she loves to hear at Christmas — Handel’s “Messiah.” This, of course, is a three-part epic depicting the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The “Hallelujah Chorus” is probably the most popular part of the 1741 piece.
But what are the chances of me finding an a cappella version of that?
Pretty good, actually. First up, here’s The Acappella Company‘s Praise and Harmony Singers. This one’s fun to watch.
Here’s an awesome rendition by 3B4JHOY:
And Sebastian Hernandez does a really good job here, singing in four parts:
Thanks so much for the feedback!
What’s your favorite a cappella song? Send us a video link and a short description of what the song means to you. We might use your selection in a future Voices Only.

about
Sisters Heather, Dominique, and Claudette have been singing as a group since 2001. They have had the privilege of performing on The Gospel of Music with Jeff Majors on TV One, sharing the stage with Smokie Norful, Trinity 5:7, 21:03 and J. Moss. They have also opened for popular gospel artists like Vicki Winans, Papa San, and many more. The sisters were ready to start their promising career in the Gospel music arena, but God had other plans. In 2011, they began attending Mishkan David Messianic Congregation in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and the truth of the Word of God changed their musical sound. In 2012, 3b4jHoy debuted their new Messianic musical sound at AMF in North Carolina. Ever since then, they have been ministering at various events, sharing the truth of Messiah Yeshua. Currently, the sisters are the praise and worship leaders of Just Life Messianic Ministries and also members of the praise team at Mishkan David Messianic Congregation.
