Book Reviews of Messiah: Full score (Classic Choral Works)
Book Review: If you're going to conduct it, use this score.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a young conductor researching possibilities of putting on a concert of Messiah and I checked out this version of the full score from the library. If I do perform the work, this is the score I'm going to use, primarily because a) the score is very clean and easy to read, and allows the conductor to make markings/notes in the margins, and b) there is an excellent critical commentary within this score as well, which can help explaining the work to others or creating program notes.
I know that Dover produces more affordable full scores of large works, but they always voice the strings in a funky way (i.e. using alto/soprano clefs instead of the treble/bass format) and they sometimes don't have any commentary. But Bartlett's work here really is something to applaud, as it makes this tremendous piece more accessible to more musicians.
Summary of Messiah: Full score (Classic Choral Works)
for SATB soloists, SATB choir, and orchestraA 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 transpostions. The full score includes all the alternative movements and transpositions in their correct sequence and all material is signposted clearly and cross-referenced with the vocal score.
Vocal scores and orchestral material are also available on hire.
