Georg Friedrich Händel: Messiah (Oratorio, 1741): (Arr. W Hutton): Vocal And Piano

This edition of the Organ score to Handel's Messiah is intended to make life a little easier for the organist who is to accompany this Choral work in place of an orchestra. Prepared by Warren Hutton and Mary-Lou Robinson, it is an accurate and stylistically faithful transcription, arranged idiomatically for the instrument. Yet it is also very practical - fingering, ornamentation, pedalling and registration have been carefully planned and clearly indicated, and the whole is well-set out (as a large organ score with choral parts printed above) and beautifully printed.

For the time it will save in preparing for performance, this edition is an excellent investment.
