Too Hot to Handel

I am watching a performance on PBS right now of 'Too Hot to Handel,' which is a gospel-music rearrangement of Handel's oratorio. This version has apparently been in regular performance since the 1990s, first in the United States. The televised version was recorded at Royal Albert Hall in London, conducted by Marian Alsop. Should this version be included in this article?

Perhaps it should have its own article. Because this article has not even much room for Handel's music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added links to two gospel arrangements of the Messiah in the See Also section. Transformasian (talk) 23:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added the internal link to the navbox at the bottom, removed the external link, and dropped the whole section. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
