“Messiah” Hallelujah ChorusGeorg Friedrich Händel


The P&G Ariel commercial titled “Yellowing When Switching Seasonal Clothes.” In it, Toma Ikuta hangs laundry under a blue sky while explaining the product.
Adding a sense of openness and grandeur to the already refreshingly pleasant spot is the “Hallelujah” chorus from Messiah.
That melody, repeating the word “Hallelujah,” is probably familiar to just about everyone.
Incidentally, “Hallelujah” carries a nuance of blessing, so it matches the joy of laundry being washed clean.
Let me weep Opera ‘Rinaldo’ Michie Nakamaru 0001Georg Friedrich Händel

This is “Lascia ch’io pianga” (Let me weep) from the opera Rinaldo by George Frideric Handel, a composer born in Germany in 1685 who later became a naturalized British citizen.
In this aria, Almirena sings, “Let me weep over my cruel fate,” vowing to remain faithful to her beloved Rinaldo despite being courted by the enemy king.
HallelujahGeorg Friedrich Händel

It is world-famous as a choral piece and is often taught in music classes at Japanese junior high and high schools.
It is a movement from the oratorio Messiah composed by the German composer Handel, and when the piece was first performed in 18th-century England, it is said that King George II stood up to applaud its magnificence.
Hallelujah from the oratorio MessiahGeorge Frideric Handel

Some of you may have sung it in a school choir during junior high or high school.
This piece is one movement from the religious oratorio Messiah composed by Handel.
The title “Messiah” comes from the English reading of “Messiah,” meaning the Savior, and its lyrics are taken from the Bible.
The performance lasts about two and a half hours and consists of solos, ensembles, and choruses depicting the life of Jesus Christ, including the famous “Hallelujah.”
The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba from the oratorio “Solomon”Georg Friedrich Händel

House Foods operates on a global scale.
To convey that sense of scale, the company selected “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” from the oratorio Solomon as its commercial song.
With its majestic atmosphere, the piece is popular at weddings for its thematic resonance.
Its lively, leaping tones are exhilarating to hear, and the brisk tempo feels refreshing—a piece that instantly brightens the mood.
It’s a fitting choice that reflects House Foods’ philosophy and aspirations.
Highly recommended for fans of orchestral music!
