Amazingly, Messiah was composed in only 24 days, and is now one of the most performed and loved works in the choral repertoire. This is the Oxford University Press Clifford Bartlett edition of the Vocal Score.
A truly versatile and user-friendly edition - a practical approach for performers, informed by the very highest standard of scholarship. The vocal score presents with great clarity the standard version that we all know and love, complete with a new, practical piano reduction. The appendix contains Handel's alternative movements and transpositions.
