Although slow to be accepted in England, where the public thought it was blasphemous, the Messiah is now Handel s best-known oratorio and well-loved worldwide. It is for four soloists, SATB chorus and orchestral which is here replaced by a piano accompaniment. This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score, revised according to the original score by Max Spicker and edited by T. Tertius Noble.
