Book Reviews of The Messiah: An Oratorio Complete Vocal Score (G. Schirmer's Editions of Oratorios and Cantatas)

Book Review: The Classic Messiah
Summary: 5 Stars

I needed a new score for Handel's Messiah, that I'd sung over forty-five years ago. I'm delighted to find it's available and as I remember it. It's a classic and it feels so good to see that it still exists and hasn't been made "new & improved" as so many things are. (See the Episcopal Church, for example... )

Book Review: Excellent quality, Prompt delivery
Summary: 5 Stars

I ordered two copies December 9th so my wife and I could participate in the annual free Messiah Sing-Along here in town ([...]). They arrived in excellent condition just a few days later, in plenty of time for the concert. Now we have our own copies and can practice before the sing-along (because we need it!).

Book Review: The Messiah: An Oratorio Complete Vocal Score
Summary: 5 Stars

I want to commend the shipper who sent this to me swiftly. It is a pleasure to listen to the CD following the music. I began to see patterns in the composition of the music that corresponded to the scripture cited that I had not been sensitive to before. When singing a part in this music, it is easy to get so focused on one's own part that one misses the fact that the notes themselves weave a tapestry on the page and to the ear that tell a story as rich as the verse.
Schirmer's Edition is easy to work with and read.

Book Review: The Messiah Vocal Score
Summary: 5 Stars

This edition of the Messiah is perfect for use in singing in a group. The vocal parts are very distinct and true to the choral format. I have also used this addition when play the piano accompaniment. Size is good also.

Book Review: i have two copies on my music shelf!
Summary: 5 Stars

extra copy is for family members who want to join in on the fun. i can't sing in choirs like i used to, but i still bust this out during the holidays, and sing along to any part when it comes on the radio.

if i feel like a tenor that day, well there's the tenor line. sounding soprano? there it is too...i've memorized most of the alto lines. and of course it has all the solos!

binding has held up well over the years.
