Change Your Tune is all about recognisable pieces of choral music - and there aren’t many that are more famous than The Hallelujah Chorus. But why has this one part of Handel’s Messiah become so well-known, what makes it special and why is it a tradition to stand up during performances of it? We get some answers with the help of top comedian, football pundit and classically-trained singer, Lloyd Griffith, who also tells us why his audiences can’t believe their ears when he sings in his stand-up routines.
