Suitable for SATB soloists, SATB choir, and orchestra. The full score includes the alternative movements and transpositions in their correct sequence and the material is signposted clearly and cross-referenced with the vocal score.
This new edition of Handel's Messiah . . . scores high marks for the care taken to present what Bartlett describes as a 'standard version of the work'. . . The practical advantages of the full score derive mainly from the clarity of its typography, the economy of sides occupied by what elsewhere often involves a succession of irritating page turns, and a sense that the whole enterprise has been coaxed through the press with maximum care. Likewise, the vocal score is uncluttered and easy to use.
