Review: Handel at his Best - In my lifetime, I have had three or four copies of the choral music of the Messiah. Some of them were on loan from church or school and I even bought a copy at a used bookstore once (and lost it). I love this as a choral piece of music. But this copy is the best I've owned for one simple reason - the book and the type are larger than I have ever seen. Anyone who has performed Messiah and is not required to memorize it will appreciate how much larger this version is. All lines are easier to read. None of the measures get lost into the fold of the book. All parts are easy to follow, so no matter if you're a spoiled soprano like me, or a bass enjoying those low notes, you'd actually be able to read this while performing. Yes, it is a sort of scholarly version of the work, but Messiah is not a casual piece of music. It was written to be performed in front of royalty, and while I doubt King George I (the first) would have had Handel killed if he didn't like it, he certainly could have ruined his career. It was written in a time that is very different from ours (she typed into a strange machine to post her words and express her opinion for all to see), and therefore, to include the full variations in the work is to incorporate everything that Handel wanted with it. It is his best known work and really, his masterpiece. The editors treat it as such. Thoroughly enjoyable for a casual musician and huge fan of the work and composer. Review: Good Quality Composition - The composition was pristine and arrived ahead of schedule. ## Features - Vocal Score, Paperback - Pages: 272 - Instrumentation: Choral - Voicing: VOCAL SCORE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #33,151 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Choral Songbooks #3 in Chorale Music #4 in Vocal & Singing | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,226 Reviews | ## Images ![Messiah - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LsBnH6+ML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handel at his Best *by M***R on February 16, 2017* In my lifetime, I have had three or four copies of the choral music of the Messiah.

I finally decided to buy a brand new copy for myself so I can see my own pencil markings without erasing decades of old markings each year. :-) This is a nicely bound edition, where the spine stays separate from the pages so even if you do bend it back to break the spine, it won't crease the outer binding. But, the pages are laid out and the whole thing is heavy enough that you won't need to break the spine to read the music if you are just holding it. I love having my fresh clean music to read from! And knowing my page numbers and measure numbers are the same as everyone else's, this purchase was well worth it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Messiah - The Messiah: An Oratorio for Four-Part Chorus of Mixed Voices, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass Soli and Piano - Handel: Messiah --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/2625004-messiah](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/2625004-messiah) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
